Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to synoptically introduce students to the development of history of fine arts from the first artistic expressions of humanity to the Romanesque period. Emphasis is laid on the individual cultural horizons and, as far as the later periods are concerned, on individual stylistic trends. The course is an inseparable part of the system of lecturing history of fine arts on the bachelor´s study level, which - in the case of the fields Documentation of Historical Monuments and Cultural History - closes with final state examination.
The graduate demonstrates knowledge of the development of artistic creation from the Paleolithic to the Romanesque period. The student is able to identify and date important works of art and historical buildings, and is oriented in the issues of cultural horizons and stylistic development. The student has an overview of the basic titles of domestic and foreign literature.
Prerequisites
1. The graduation from the subject does not unconditionally require previous graduation from another discipline. 2. It is beneficial if students can work with foreign-language professional literature (in German and/or English). The students are also expected to have historical insight at least on the level of secondary-school curricula in the field of history.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Attendance with a maximum of 3 permitted absences, continuous performance of assigned tasks (participation in guided tours of the exhibition and permanent art-historical exhibitions).
