Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with an overview of the development of art history from the earliest artistic expressions of man to the Gothic period. Emphasis is placed on individual cultural horizons, and in younger periods on stylistic types. The course is a solid part of the system of teaching Art History at the Bachelor's degree level, which is completed by a state final examination.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to clearly distinguish key artistic styles from prehistoric times to the late Gothic period, including their chronological development and geographical differences. The student will be able to identify the characteristic features of architecture, sculpture and painting of each period and place them in their historical, social and religious context. Special attention will be paid to the art of ancient civilizations, antiquity, and the early and high Middle Ages in Europe, with emphasis on the specifics of art in the Czech lands. They will understand the formative influences, innovations and interrelationships between artistic movements, as well as their reverberation and transformation. Gain the ability to analyze works of art and interpret their meaning within a given era.
