Three questions about the power of looking:

1.       The painting entitled “The Treachery of Images” is referred to in this reading and by many other authors including Scott McCloud.  Why is this an important example of the relationship between words and things?

2.       Do you agree with the statement that “Photographs are objective renderings of the real world that provide an unbiased truth because cameras are seemingly detached from a subjective, particular human viewpoint.”  How can we use cameras to express our viewpoints and biases?

3.       Which aspects of representation are most important to consider when attempting to produce an iconic image? (i.e. What kind of lines are best, which colors, what shapes are most effective, etc.)
