The aim of the subject is provide students of historically-focused disciplines with basic knowledge of the development of cultural and artistic development from prehistory to the first half of the 20th century. Emphasis is mainly laid on the sphere of fine arts, especially in the European and, as far as the later periods are concerned, also Bohemian and Czech environment. The time span of the first semester ranges from prehistoric art to Gothic style. The follow-up, second semester then maps out the late period from Renaissance to the early 20th century.
The graduates from the course demonstrate basal knowledge of cultural and historical development during the period from prehistory to the gothic period. They can synoptically characterize the cultural development in the significant areas and historical epochs. They also manifest knowledge of selected works of art and architecture within the above-mentioned time frame, the ability to identify these works and correctly classify them from both the aspect of the period of their style and dating. The graduates can employ the acquired knowledge depending on their professional orientation. The pedagogically-focused ones apply them in the framework of teaching history and disciplines of social sciences. The graduates of historical fields apply them in the framework of their research and publication activities. On a general level, all graduates manifest their cultural literacy by the acquired knowledge. |
