Objectives

The aim of the lectures is to get the students acquainted with the artistic periods included in the program, so that they can understand the historical-artistic conjuncture and recognize the main characteristics of each period. It is also important for the students to acquire a special sensibility to art in general, since all of their future work will be to preserve that same art.

Teaching method

Introduction to each of the subjects included in the program, through an historical-artistic contextualization of the artistic periods lectured. Development of themes through an approach that includes the analysis of the main artistic currents of each period, such as architecture, sculpture, painting or mosaic. Exemplification of specific cases through their visualization by using images during the lectures in order to illustrate the speech. Images give a better perception of the subject and also a better understanding of the work of art. Direct contact with the work of art is promoted whenever possible. Dialog with the students is encouraged, so that they can present any doubts and participate actively in the analysis of the works of art.
