Specific bibliography on each topic will be indicated in the course of the semester.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching methods applied are generally those of didactics in History. However, History of Art requires didactical methods that are specific to this scientific field.
Each class follows a model, combining lectures and interactive methods between teacher, students and portrayal of the artistic object (in PowerPoint, slides and transparencies). Visualizing reproductions of artistic objects not only illustrates the subject’s contents, but also encourages the development of students’ visual culture.
Students are encouraged to observe the image in general and in detail, and they are provided with the most appropriate methods in analyzing a work of art.
Direct observation of the object, implying prior theoretical preparation, will be provided in fieldtrips which, given budgetary restrictions, may vary from year to year.

Software
