- Learning verification modality
- The verification of learning consists of an oral interview in which the student will have to demonstrate that he has acquired the methodological tools for the study of the art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (research, analysis and interdisciplinary study methods) by presenting a historical-critical card on a work agreed with the teacher followed by general questions and the analysis of one of the works examined during the course.
- Extended program
- From the end of the 18th century onwards, the figure of the artist and his activity underwent a profound transformation, inserting himself fully into the contemporary cultural and ideological debate. This change, the liveliness and scope of the critical debate that from then on invests the role of the arts in contemporary society, the birth of aesthetics and modern art history, the philosophical speculation around the creative process, as well as the greater consistency of printed and archival-documentary sources, make the study of the history of art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries present more complex interdisciplinary investigation methodologies. The program, therefore, will focus on the analysis of some exemplary works through which to introduce students to the basic concepts of modern critical and theoretical thinking and to the application of the main methods of analysis and interdisciplinary interpretation of contemporary art.
