Learning unit contents
- This seminar s mainly designed to develop students' critical thinking and their ability to support scientific reasoning.
To do this, students are invited to prepare a written work and an oral presentation on an imposed subject, in connection with a theme that varies from one year to another (eg: Dada and Surrealist Women Artists, The Photography in the nineteenth century, Artists'writings in the twentieth century, Censorship in 19th and 20th Century Art, etc.). The approach is usually monographic, which means that the student devotes his or her written and oral presentation to a single artist.
From a practical point of view, the students communicate their written work to the professor and to the other students a week before the oral presentation, and this in the perspective of a debate organized at the end of each course. Excursions and on-site seminars can be organized
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated their ability to produce a written work that meets the standards and criteria of scientific research in art history.
They will have acquired skills in heuristic research, and will have learned the importance of producing a coherent text with the methodological rules in art history.
Students will have demonstrated their ability to communicate the results of their research orally, using a constructed diaporama.
Thanks to the debates organized after each session, students will have developed their critical thinking skills and their ability to argue their points.
Last but not least, students will have learned to work collectively on the same theme, and to actively participate in their own formation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
To take this course, students must have taken the first- and second-year courses in contemporary art history (or have some training in the field).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is essentially organized around students' oral presentations.
At the end of each lesson, students receive feedback by Prof. Julie Bawin on their written work and oral presentations.
Alix Nyssen, assistant lecturer in contemporary art history, attends each lesson and advises students on methodological issues.
A group debate is organized after each presentation.
In practical terms, the seminar is organized according to student attendance. This means that adjustments can be made to the organization of lessons and the calendar.

Additional information:
The evaluation focuses on four aspects:
1.The written work (30% of the note)
2.The oral presentation (30% of the note)
3.The matter (25% of the grade): It is not a question of studying the work of the other students by heart, but of reading them carefully in order to make the link with one's own work. The objective is to have a transversal vision of the course.
4. The current participation (15% of the score)
