In this triple lesson we have started the study of semiology. A sign is split into two parts a 'signified' & a 'signify'. The 5 semiotic systems are; linguistic, visual, audio, gestural & spatial. This then breaks down to 3 parts 'Iconic', 'Index' & 'Symbolic'. We practiced this on two images, one being a dove image and the other being a black raven image. We did this to practice how we think about things and what images and signs have power. For example; everyone in the class beileved that the dove resembled peace and love. Whereas, the raven represented evil.
