| Description (ECIAD) | This special topics course examines a specific
historical movement (e.g. the Renaissance, the
Rococo, the Baroque) through its impact on the
production of contemporary art and visual
culture. Taking a thematic approach the course
will address questions of genre, style and
influence within an art historical,
socio-political and cultural context. Students
will be invited to consider how and under what
conditions, the ideas, beliefs and practices that
have shaped an art historical movement continue
to reverberate in the present historical moment.
The course provides students with a greater
understanding of the movement taken as special
topic focus and an increased awareness of its
continuation and/or re-emergence in contemporary
practices.
Each section of this course covers a different topic. See here. |
