Doing Art History
The aim of this course is to provide entry points to the field of art history within and outside academia. Through seminars and field studies in collections and archives, students will be able to examine critically and work independently with different categories of materials and research practices relating to art history.
The focus is on the ability to define and delimit the material and the object of study, as well as formulate relevant research questions on the selected material. Through practical exercises, students will develop their knowledge and skills relating to various forms of communication in art history, such as academic articles, oral
conference presentations and exhibitions. The main emphasis of the course is on the “doing” of art history, but there are opportunities for specialisation and in-depth study of selected empirical data or a category of materials.
