| Summary |
|---|
| The first part of the three-semestral subject. The introduction to problems of the art history is focused on the definition of the study subject, on subjects connected with the art history and also the special terminology. Next lectures are focused on the fundamental historical periods of art from the prehistoric to the Middle Ages inclusive. Particular lectures follow the time axis but do not substitute summarising literature on the visual culture. They choose the only topics in which the visual language changes. Particular parts of the whole cycle will be accompanied with pictures, as the case may be, in electronic form. Students can use some exercises for preparing for the final credit. 80% presence in lessons is necessary and as well as passing the test. |
