Proposed New Unit:

Unit Information

Resp. Org. Entity: ALVA (00250)

Level: 2

2014

Dr. Susanne Meurer ([email protected])

Title: Introduction to Museum and Curatorial Studies

Type: Undergraduate in major(s);

Faculty: Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts

Unit rules

Academic informationUnit Content: This unit offers an introduction to the world of collecting and curating art from historical, theoretical and

practice-based perspectives. The evolution of modern-day museums and art galleries is traced to the early modern “chamber of wonders” and the establishment of large national institutions, starting with the British Museum in the mid-eighteenth century. Key themes include how gallery displays reinforce the public’s perception of canons of art or how they suggest the boundaries between fine art and ethnography? And what particular issues do Australian collections face today?In addition, students will receive an introduction to aspect of collection management, from acquisition policies or exhibition design to museum education programmes. Students will receive the opportunity to label and hang objects in a model room, to critically explore aspects of current museological practice and to carry out research on these.Site-visits to University Museums (including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery or the Berndt Museum of Anthropology) and other local collections will constitute a major element of this unit, affording students a ‘look behind the scenes’ and the possibility to acquire basic object handling skills.

Outcomes: Students are able to demonstrate (1) a critical understanding of the issues involved in contemporary curating; (2) the ability to critically analyse museum and exhibition displays; (3) an understanding of the history of collecting and its impacts on the history of art; (4) the ability to lead a discussion and provoke debate; and (5) the ability to formulate a concise argument within a written paper.

Assessments tied to outcomes:

Students are required to write a short review of an exhibition they have seen in person with respect to concept, display, and marketing. This assessment is intended to encourage critical understanding with regards to visual strategies and narratives at play in curating displays (Outcomes 1 and 2, based on Outcome 5). Students will also be required to contribute to tutorial discussion of required reading or other material (such as museum websites) and other practical exercises, to promote verbal and reasoning skills and foster the ability to lead a discussion and group debate (Outcomes 2 and 4).A long research essay is intended to encourage students to critically consider larger historical and cultural contexts of museology and the history of collecting (Outcome 3, based on Outcomes 1 and 2, and demonstrating Outcome 5).

VISA2275 Italian Renaissance Art and Architecture


Proposed New Unit:

Unit Information


Level: 2

2014


Title: Italian Renaissance Art and Architecture



Academic informationUnit Content: This unit provides a selective survey of Italian painting, architecture, sculpture, and drawing of the

fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It draws on important episodes, art historical literature, major monuments and personalities like Brunelleschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael or Titian, to examine the concept of the Renaissance as a rebirth both within a contemporary context and in light of our modern presumptions of the period. Rather than considering the Renaissance as a uniform period, working its way to its inevitable highpoint – as suggested in its oldest and most famous account, Giorgio Vasari’s Vite of 1568 - we will stress the conflicts, competition, tension and crises during this era. Artists, works of art and buildings will be presented within their cultural, social, political, religious and/or economic contexts.

Outcomes: Students are able to (1) identify major monuments and figures of the Italian Renaissance and to critically analyse art works and buildings (technique, style, composition, etc.) and locate them within a broader knowledge of style and culture- (2) Read and process texts critically and to discuss them in a larger group of people- (3) actively participate in a discussion and provoke debate- (4) Have an awareness of how historiography has shaped our image of the Renaissance- (5) Understand the larger (artistic, historical, social, religious and economic) processes at work in the Italian Renaissance- (6) Build up an argument in a written paper


Students are required to give a short tutorial presentation in which the visual analysis of an art work or building is connected to the tutorial-readings. This will train visual, analytical and critical skills (Outcome 1). The subsequent discussion of the tutorial readings applied to specific objects from the period and linked to the examination of specific problems or concepts enhances students’ analytical, verbal and reasoning skills (corresponding to Outcomes 1-3.) Students will be assessed on a short analytical paper in which the description and analysis of one art work or building will naturally lead to the work’s interpretation (Outcome 5, building on Outcome 1). This paper will train the students’ visual and analytical as well as their writing skills (Outcome 6), while the longer essay on one art work or building is intended to encourage students to critically analyse scholarship by comparing two art-historical interpretations and to show their understanding of how the historical context shapes the appearance of an art work or building (again, Outcome 6, with Outcomes 4 and 5 building on Outcome 1 and 2).

VISA2283 Rome


Proposed New Unit:

Unit Information


Level: 2

2014


Title: Rome



Academic informationUnit Content: Rome has always played a pivotal role in European culture and beyond. First as the centre of the

Roman Empire, then as the seat of the Catholic church the Eternal City attracted centuries of patronage and artistic production on an unrivalled scale. Numerous layers of evidence provide an unequalled historic kaleidoscope: from the ruins of classical Rome, its Renaissance and Baroque churches and palaces, to the late nineteenth-century historicist monuments or the grand plans for a new Rome partially implemented under Mussolini’s fascist regime. This unit will provide students with the opportunity of gaining an on-site overview of Roman art and architecture from classical antiquity to the present day. One key theme of this unit therefore is the importance of physical context on the creation and viewing of works of art. Another key aspect is the interplay of different layers of art and architecture. To what extent, for example, is our perception of Rome’s classical past shaped by the drastic interventions of fascist urban planning? Students will be given the opportunity to explore and move between different archaeological layers, to critically consider issues faced by the demands of conserving artistic heritage in a major European tourism destination and to research on a range of art works and sites from classical antiquity to the 21st century as they explore to what extent Rome continues to be a cultural and political symbol, as much as a city.

Outcomes: Students are able to (1) analyse formal and technical qualities of art works.(2) demonstrate understanding of art works in their settings and the ways in which these physical contexts have shaped the objects’ production and display.(3) locate art works within broader historical and cultural frameworks, such as the central importance of Italian, and in particular Roman art and architecture on early modern European culture, or the concerns of balancing conservational needs with those of the city’s current inhabitants.(4) demonstrate skills in research, expression and cricital thought including the use of library resources, essay writing and the critical use of primary and secondary materials.(5) demonstrate oral communication and interpersonal skills


Assessment 1: Participation in class (Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 5) Assessment 2: Visual analyses (Outcomes 1, 2, 3) Assessment 3: Final Essay (Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4)

VISA3371 The Northern Renaissance


Proposed New Unit:

Unit Information


Level: 3

2014


Title: The Northern Renaissance



Academic informationUnit Content: In the early 15th century, art produced in the Burgundian Netherlands (an area consisting of present-day

Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France) was celebrated and exported as far afield as Italy and Spain. The introduction of oil paint had given rise to a revolutionary style of painting, allowing artists like Jan van Eyck to create seemingly hyper-realistic representations that reflected new interests in the depiction of nature and human emotion.This unit charts principal developments of the so-called Northern Renaissance, from its origins in court art of the Burgundian Netherlands around 1400, its dominance over the European market for much of the 15th century up until the increasing engagement of sixteenth-century artists like Albrecht Dürer with developments in contemporary Italian art. Students will be introduced to the visual language of the period and the ways in which figures like Hieronymus Bosch subverted traditional iconographies. Key themes that students will be introduced to in lectures and encouraged to further examine through tutorial discussion, written object analysis and a research essay include the use of art in religious ceremony, the rise of new artistic genres, changes in art patronage and the art market, and the emerging awareness of national styles and their historiographies. While special emphasis will be placed on painted works, we will also consider other art forms, such as manuscript illumination, carved wooden altarpieces, tapestries, and stained glass.

Outcomes: Students are able to (1) Analyse formal and technical qualities of art works; (2) locate art works within broader historical, cultural, religious, economic, and artistic frameworks at work in the Northern Renaissance; (3) demonstrate an awareness of how historiography has shaped our image of the Northern Renaissance; (4) employ skills in research, expression and critical thought including the use of library resources, essay writing and the critical use of primary and secondary materials; and (5) demonstrate oral communication and interpersonal skills.


Students are required to write a an object analysis, in which they describe and critically compare and contrast formal and technical qualities of two Northern Renaissance art works of their choice. (Outcomes 1 and 4).Students are expected to contribute to tutorial discussions and exercises, such as the critical analysis of art works (Outcomes 1, 4 and 5).The final assessment consists of a research essay, in which students are expected to demonstrate their awareness of larger historical contexts and the impact of historiography on perception of the Northern Renaissance. (Outcomes 2, 3 and 4).
