Learning outcomes
|
The goal is to introduce the possibilities of interpretation of art works as proofs of political, social, religious and generally cultural situation of the time and the place of its origination. We will also pay attention to the development of European art, mainly to the beginnings and reception of single art works, to the changes and development of specific art genres (portrait, landscape painting, genre painting). The students will also acquire knowledge of the relationships between artists, customer and wider public, about the development of public and private art collections and about social changes which influenced the origination and further existence of the collections. In the lectures and consequent discussion in the seminars we will analyze the works of art themselves (the pictorial and material sources) but also sources written and literary, and the students then acquire knowledge and skills necessary for interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation of art works and the variability of their reception.
The student can analyze and interpret an art work not only in the context of social situation and artistic development of European art in the wide time span from early Middle Age till today. He is able to compare statements of various kinds of sources, mainly the pictorial and material (art works) as well as written. The student thus prepares himself for the position of a scientific worker and at the same time for the practical functions in the net of state and regional institutions of conservation, archiving and museum orientation. These skills will be of use also to those, students, who will work in printed or electronic media or in private or public funds supporting culture and art activities.
