The course History of Material Culture I focuses on the genesis of material culture, particularly artistic craftsmanship and applied arts. Its core consists of an art historical thematic framework set within a broader cultural and historical context. The aim of the course is to provide an overview of the development of material culture within the context of European cultural history, with an emphasis on Central Europe and the evolution of art historical styles. It also seeks to clarify the relationships between the categories of art and craft, taking into account period artistic theories, the functions of visual art, and symbolism. Special emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach to the subject matter. Students acquire a foundational overview of both art history and general history. The study of both thematic areas is designed so that their respective focuses intersect and complement one another as much as possible. Particular attention is devoted to mastering the essential concepts and professional terminology, as well as understanding the developmental trends in artistic craftsmanship, applied and fine arts, and artistic techniques, including their application within the students? own artistic or curatorial practice.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
