Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students of history with a basic overview of cultural and artistic development from prehistoric times to the end of the Middle Ages. The course is designed as a contextual extension of the knowledge that students acquire in basci theoretical courses, measured predominantly in political, religious, and economic history. The course emphasizes primarily the visual arts and architecture, but issues of spiritual culture, literature, theater, music, etc. are also reprented. The lectures of the course are conceived in direct continuity with the content of the lectures on the history of prehistory, antiquity and the Czech and general Middle Ages. The knowledge acquired in the course is applied not only in the student?s own research work, but also in some areas of the SSZ.
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.
Prerequisites
Graduation from the course does not require previous graduation from any particular discipline.
