Course Objective

Starting from the 16th century European centerd understanding of art went under a revolutionary change. The major result of this qualitative change was the fact that the production of plastic art was starting to deviate from Greek originated understanding of art. The period starting from the 16th century witnessed a rapid change in art until the 21st century. This course provides a guidance towards the evaluation of this change according to different geographic regions. The course also presents the influence of cultural processes among these civilizations such as cultural diffusionism on stylistic characteristics using visual material and examples of architecture, architectural-plastic handicrafts and architectural monumental plastic artwork.
The aim of the course is to enable students to accurately use the concepts petaining to art and history of art starting from the first years of their education. It also targets to create a thorough understanding of how the concept of art originated and the understanding of art in different cultures. In order to achieve this, visual materials are used to introduce the stylistic traditions of cultures so that students can make a comparative analysis of the understanding of art then and today. Another objective of the course is to teach the concepts of history of art and enable students to comprehend, analyze, synthesize and evaluate the stylistic characteristics of the period being studied.
