2019
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students will explore the art historical canon from the Renaissance through to Impressionism. It will provide a chronological survey exploring key artists and ideas that shaped artistic practice in the context of rapid social and cultural change and technological developments. This period represents one of the most important in the history of art, when many fundamental ideas about art and artists were developed, such as; the rise of the status of the artists; the development of the artist's workshop; the concept of authenticity; collecting and the birth of the museum, and the role art plays in the expression of power and identity. Periods covered in this chronological survey will include the Early and High Renaissance, the Baroque, Neoclassism, Romanticism and Impressionism. As well as developing a knowledge of the specific contexts in which art was produced, students will also develop an understanding of the technical achievements of artists and will begin to develop critical and observational skills for the continued study of art history.
