Last week's lecture was extremely confusing and I didn't understand the relevance of most of the discussion. However, I did manage to glean that there is a very fine line between art and graphic design, as both are a form of visual communication, yet graphic design isn't always meaningful.
In terms of mass media all forms of art are used to communicate messages and meanings across a very large audience. And as a society almost all of us are exposed to some form of art on a daily basis. However, I feel that the main focus in last weeks lecture was on graphic design and how it is used to convey a message to a large audience. I guess I didn't really get the relevance of graphic design to me, as I am an animator, which I feel isn't quite graphic design. Yet I do see the relevance of communication and how animation could be used as a form of mass media, as it is something that is seen by many and is widely available.
Other than that I can't comment on the lecture much more, as I didn't actually understand most of what the guy was saying (I think most of it was about graphic designers and examples of their work. I don't see the relevance of this at all) and I just couldn't grasp at the connection to animation.
