    Principles and starting points related to the instruction and learning of the course

  • Lectures and class discussions aim to give students an overall picture of the characteristics of western art historical periods and their major artists and train students in visual analysis. Texts and exercises, class participation, and oral presentions seek to enhance students' oral skills, language and analyzing capabilities and provide them with art and cultural historical terminology. Some connections between art and scientific-technological development are highlighted as well. Textual and visual materials serve as tools to help students develop their analytical and rhetorical skills.
