Learning unit contents
Description of the teaching unit
This introductory course, given ex cathedra on the basis of a slide show projection, is guided by three imperatives that determine the method by which the works are analyzed:
1. To provide historical, stylistic and iconographic informations, as well as any insights (philosophical, sociological, political, economic, scientific, literary, etc.) useful for understanding the forms of artistic expression that succeeded and/or opposed each other in the 19th century.
2. Contextualize, i.e. link the history of creation with cultural, political, economic and social history.
3. Familiarize students with the theoretical concepts and interpretive tools used to analyze works of art.
This course, aimed primarily at first-year undergraduates, is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge and concepts needed to understand artistic creation from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
Table of contents
The course is divided into two main parts.
Part 1: "The classical ideal and Romanticism". From the end of the 18th century to the 1850s.
Part 2: "A time of rupture, scandal and renewal". From the 1850s to the 1900s.
Details of the table of contents are included in the diaporama, which is given to students in its entirety.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, students should be able to analyze works both from a stylistic and iconographic point of view, and in terms of the broader context in which the works were created. The learning objectives are therefore essentially cognitive, as students are expected to be able to reproduce factual and conceptual knowledge (knowledge of facts, chronology, definitions and comments accompanying the analysis of works), while demonstrating an understanding and mastery of the notions, concepts and aesthetic theories developed and explained throughout the course.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
None, provided a basic historical education has been provided in secondary school
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
To achieve its objectives, the course relies on a relatively well-established art-historical pedagogical device, namely the projection of a slide show (diaporama) that records the general structure of the course, the reproduction of all the works analyzed and the main factual data (historical landmarks, legends of the works, etc.). Each week, the diaporama iis posted online in the "Support de cours" section, enabling students to review the material throughout the term.
However, this course is not accompanied by a syllabus. As a result, students take their own notes, which - from a pedagogical point of view - facilitates concentration and progressive assimilation of the course contents.
Although the course is given ex-cathedra, students are free to ask questions, preferably at the beginning or end of the lesson. In addition, a session entitled "One Minute Paper" is organized to enable students to ask (anonymous) questions about the the course.
