A series of lectures

Series of lectures on art history (online)

scholastika_dejinyumeni-0162-kopie
This course is conducted in the Czech language.

Learn to think about art beyond the context of its history and evolution.

Do you like art and would you like to understand it? Do you want to know why artworks look the way they do? Do you sometimes feel lost in galleries and don’t quite understand what the surrounding works are supposed to mean? In an art history course at Scholastika, you will discover that the role of art has been and continues to be much more than to simply be “beautiful.”

We have prepared a Sunday course where you will learn the basics of formal analysis, learn to recognise individual styles and, above all, learn about the art of thinking.

We will meet five times during the semester and each meeting will be devoted to three lectures.
In the “getting acquainted” segments we will learn to look at art and learn terms and concepts that will allow you to place individual works in a chronology of art history and useful contexts.
The remaining two lectures will always deal with one topic from different angles and together they will give you a deeper and more detailed insight into interesting areas of art history. This semester, for example, you will learn what people found funny in the Middle Ages and what caused merriment at the court of Rudolphine, or what copies were used for historically.
