Storia dell'arte medievale
(objectives)
The aims of the course are: a basic grounding in medieval art, in its various aspects (from materials, to form, to technical aspects); development of the ability to use a specific language of the art-historical disciplines; development of a critical approach to medieval works of art and in particular to the historical-ideological and iconographic problems connected to them, as well as to the production processes and the role of patrons through the centuries, from the late antique age to the international Gothic.
1. Knowledge and understanding: students will have to master the subject and recognize both the artworks commented during the lessons and those studied in the reference texts. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding: classroom discussion, observation exercises guided by the teacher, research activities carried out in possible study groups, educational visits and seminars will contribute to the development of an active and personal understand of the subject. 3. Making judgments: students will have to acquire a certain capacity for critical judgment with respect to the reference texts, but also with respect to what the teacher proposes during her lessons, in relation to the debate on the studies. 4. Communication skills: students will have to acquire the specific language of the material and they will have to know how to use it in the best possible way to describe and contextualize both a medieval artwork in particular and an artistic phenomenon in general. 5. Learning skills: students will have to contextualize a medieval artwork in time and space, in relation to the cultural, social, political, ideological and material transformations that have determined/influenced a certain artistic phenomenon.
