Semiotics

Second Lecture we had was about "Semiotics" also known as "Semiotic Studies" and "Semiology".

During the lecture at first I couldnt understand what it was all about, but as Ivan was going through the lecture it became very clear to me what he was on about and I found it quite interesting.

This lecture triggered some of my memories when I spoke to one of my friends about relationships between people, languages and how we understand each other.

So thats what we spoke about:
Language we all speak is some sort of a code and each person interprets it differently... We can speak same language and still may not understand each other, find difficulties communicating with each other, but lets say if its a man and a woman in love long time together, they (not all) dont even have to talk to show what they feel or what they want and feel what other person needs.

In my opinion all people are natural semiotics.
And its not just "language" thing I mentioned above, also we had a lecture recently about drawing quick compositions very quickly so that our mind has no time to think what we draw, in the end of each drawing it looked like a mess, but in same time what I found weird is that all of us in a class saw something in this mess we all were creating, looking for recognizible shapes etc.

I think this information is pretty much useless for regular people, but for me as an animator it might be very useful and powerful tool in my hands now!
