The objective key concept of this lesson is semiotics. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and there uses or interpretation. Roland Barthes played a huge part in the semiotic analysis. Roland Barthes was a French essayist, social and literary critic, philosopher, theorist, and semiotician. Roland Barthes' theory was anything part of a culture can be a sign that sends a specific message. An example of this is denotations and connotations.The definition of denotation is literal definitions and symbols, while connotations are the meanings associated with the image/symbols. An example of connotations is a black dress it represents death, horror, and fright. A denotative example of a black dress is a Lon ramen worn on the body in the color black.
The objective of the activity and the process of the task is to understand the concept of semiotics by choosing 3 out of 6 pictures, a cat, rose, broken shoes, an eagle, a tree, and a car, and to give their denotative and connotative means.As well as its definitions, and connotative and denotative meaning.Only two students were allowed to work on the document/assignment being me and Brooke N.
