Course detail
BA Seminar 1
FaVU-BSK-TAcad. year: 2021/2022
The subject is conceived as a series of presentations prepared by students of the final year of the Bachelor's degree program on the basis of the thematic areas for Bachelor State Final Exams (The Bachelor's State Exams for the respective academic year is published on the Official Board of The Department of Theory and History of Art: http: // ktdu .ffa.vutbr.cz / deska.php). During the semester, 24 topics are presented (within each two-hour block there will be a presentation of two issues). The topic of the lecture is always accompanied by a commentary from the teacher and subsequently discussed by the students of the seminar. The interpretation also takes into account historiography and methodology in the field of art history. After completing the course the student is able to find basic orientation in the history of art and architecture and recognition and interpretation of the respective visual forms. At the same time, he is familiar with the basic terms and categories from the field of art history and related disciplines (museums, monument care, theory of visual studies). During the seminar students will get an overview of the development and the current situation of visual culture including methodological approaches.
