Main themes

In this course students are introduced to archaeological and plastic art objects made from the materials most commonly used in artistic creation (such as stone, clay, metal, wood and glass) from the Middle Ages up to the 20th century.

They will examine the physical properties of these materials, the initial phases of the creative process and the process of production, the order in which these are studied depending on the particular learning objectives of the group.

Aims

This course is intended to introduce students to the history of technology and its links with Art and Archaeology (historiography). Students will learn a general methodology for analyzing textual sources and literary and monumental archives.

They will also learn how to observe, analyse and describe objects, from the raw material stage to the process of production, passing through the initial phases of creation
