IART200 — European Art
This course is a contextual introduction to European art, architecture and cultural history. Supplementing classroom-based learning with extensive visits to museums, galleries and places of historical interest it offers a survey of art in Italy over the last two centuries and gives students an opportunity to see for themselves many of the works studied. Beginning with the art of Antiquity, onto the Medieval World, the Renaissance, Enlightenment, Impressionism, Modernism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada & Surrealism the course enables students to recognise and critically analyze art movements and styles and understand how they both shape and are shaped by the society and era in which they are created.
