Semiotics, says Wikipedia, is the study of sign processes (semiosis), or signification and communication, signs and symbols, both individually and grouped into sign systems. It includes the study of how meaning is constructed and understood.

Keith Haring was one of the great semiotic artists.

Please see Vimeo.com for the video on Haring's work and significance that we watched in class.
