Course/Module description:
During the period between 1300-1500 which is usually described as the “Renaissance,” tremendous heritage of painting, sculpture and architecture was created. If we understand these arts’ language, art will be the unique source of knowledge about all aspects of the life of the society when it was becoming “modern”.
Course/Module aims:
The aim of the course is to build the basis of knowledge on the art of this epoch, to learn about the main approaches to it, with the emphasis on the ways by which the society and its various sectors construct the message about their social, political and cognitive attitudes through art.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
.. discuss the most important artists of the early Renaissance in Italy and in Northern Europe, to discriminate between the styles of different periods and lands and to draw the connection between art and different aspects of social life.
