Course Objective

This class examines the critical texts that have determined the agenda in the field of art critism, that encapsulate thoughts and comments with high power of impact. It tries to diffuse into the universe of meaning and connotation by a structural analysis of the text. It aims to reproduce meaning by trying to describe the privelege of text, within the context of contemporary art theory and philosophy.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   understand the process of structural analysis as a problem of consciousness and awareness,
2   embrace the approach of analysis of a work of art through signs as a consistent phenomenon of visual culture,
3   witness that art analysis and critism can be analysed by connected processes within the boundaries of a sequenced logic.
4   know that the historical, cultural and political data about the development of societies and art will help with a clearer identification of a work of art.
5   see that a better context for production of meaning will be provided through the appropriate use of information about the work of art, the artist and the viewer.
