How visual culture impacts us (Kelly, Preslee, Elisse)

# data[].attributes.body
Visual culture impacts what we as a group find visually appealing and what we choose to do in our daily lives (school, work, music, etc).

# data[].attributes.body
social media

magazines

senses: sight, sound, inspiration, passion/intentionality

overall message of the media

visual storytelling

identity overlap

# data[].attributes.body
The main ideas of our discussion are Media/Music, community, and individualism through song covers, stickers, and decor on our everyday items/devices. Visual culture impacts us daily and can be overwhelming at times due to all of the absorption of different ideas. We feel that visual culture in correlation to the Art school and our classes have a positive impact on our outlook of the overall environment. The implementation of colorful/artistic visual means creates a sense of welcoming and comfortability.

List: social media, identity (pins, religion, food), community, creativity

Appeals: clothes (unique to every person) give personality, food (smell and taste), colorful earrings (interesting)

Impact: It is ways to express ourselves and do and wear things we enjoy

Because I hold a strong interest in nature, whenever I am out and about, I enjoy taking photos of any scenery/moments I find to be aesthetically pleasing!

Personally, I enjoy being able to watch animated, picturesque films; recently I watched The Boy and the Heron.

Whether it be Pinterest, Instagram, or other platforms, browsing and seeing what is suggested to me on my fyp is one way to find a visual representation of my culture as you can find a general overview of both my interests and/or what i tend to look at on a daily basis!

I've always loved looking at what was deemed fashionable in these sort of magazines. Not only does fashion inform us of certain facts about our world (what materials being used can tell us about social issues, cyclical trends, trends correlating to economic status), but it also is a great avenue of self representation which can inform those around us about how we choose to present ourselves.

I start and end (and everything in between) my day with spotify.

As someone who probably watches too much TikTok, I often get a lot of information about the world through this app. I would say that the visuals in the videos along with the fast-paced scrolling draw you in first before then hitting you with the knowledge showcased within it. So like in the article by Gemmel, literal things are being communicated with you, and there are images and videos that speak a thousand more words.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time! It's a great piece of media which uses established biases surrounding the academic world and femininity to subvert expectations. It visually communicates the differences between Elle and the rest of the students, but these differences are what make her successful in the end.

As someone who loves girly things, it is reassuring to learn that such things don't have to be forgotten in lieu of success.

This board the RA on my floor made uses visual culture of Mean Girls to convey important information in regards to ways to get involved on campus.

Visual culture is expressed a lot of times through apparel, and this is one sweatshirt I have showing the slogan of my church and thus representing my visual culture.

# data[].attributes.body
My earring collection I've been gathering over the years (and this isn't even all of it, this is just what I have at school with me) is a way that I express culture and interests explicitly visually.

# data[].attributes.body
I have pins all over my backpack & just own in general that showcase all my interest or just represent me. From my favorite superhero, my favorite show, my gender & sexuality identitys, etc.

My everyday attire/ aesthetic I feel helps showcase on how I represent and identity.

These are the main apps I use every single day while at school. Its apart of my way of socializing, entertaining, and way of living.

I am currently minoring in ASL here at UGA. Deaf Culture and ASL is a very visual language as one is reliant upon one's eyes and understanding of meaning as the language is based on meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
At UGA I have created my own major entitled "Cultural Studies with an emphasis in Deaf Culture." My purpose was to discover what kinds of things make a culture a culture. I am learning that common ground in at least one key category is present but individual uniqueness still exists in everyone.

The first article addressed the fluidness of visual culture. As a singer/ songwriter, Spotify's release of the Canvas came to mind incorporating visuals with streaming which was once audio-only.

Cultural food

I am exposed to a variety of food related to my roots on the daily.

I have stickers on my laptop and water bottle that I've gotten from numerous places over time. I feel like they do a good job capturing the places they represent or just the silly little things I liked about them.

Social media allows people to post whatever they want, but we often tailor our posts to what is currently popular or what we know looks good. This platform also offers many a large audience, so it has a greater influence

We have to work to frost uniform cakes and ensure everything is very cohesive, which in my opinion emphasizes the corporation look. We also decorate the cakes and the decorations used are able to clearly be linked to their occasions due to the visual associations we already have for most holidays/celebrations.

I never been to a physical peaceful protest, but I do see a lot of activism online and flyers of various worldwide topics/issues

The shuttle at my apartment is covered with an advertisement of the complex. This is an example of visual culture because it is an expression that describes the characteristics of the apartment complex through visual means.

# data[].attributes.body
The stickers on my laptop are an example of visual culture because they communicate things that I have found interesting visually that are now a part of my daily environment.

# data[].attributes.body
This playlist is an example of visual culture that I see because the song covers are expressions of some of my favorite artists that I see daily.

# data[].attributes.body
This is up there as one of the best movies I've ever watched. As someone who has a deep love for visual storytelling and hopes to one day work in film, I see this movie as an absolute masterpiece. The editing alone had me smiling like a kid in a candy shop.

One of my favorite shows is The Last Of Us, based on the game of the same name. I watched this show having already played the game and already knew what was going to happen, and yet the first 20 minutes of the pilot still had my heart pounding. It was brilliantly written, acted, and executed.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite game at the moment is Baldur's Gate 3. Every detail of this game was made with the utmost love and care, and it shows every time I play it. The environments are gorgeous, the graphics are accurate down to individual beads of sweat and tiny wrinkles on the character's faces, and the characters are written with heartbreaking levels of depth and humanity to them. It's a stunning piece of media and I can't recommend it enough.

This is one of my favorite shows! Sex Education contains a lot of important representation and different identities, and even though it can be unrealistic in some ways, it displays an important visual culture.

I am always searching for quilt/sewing inspiration. This is a quilt made by Lucy Mingo, a Gee's Bend quilter. I love the improvisational style and colors.

People (including artists and brands) are constantly advertising themselves in different ways. We can also communicate with other artists through social media and learn about their processes.
