The writing assessment of this course consists of a multiple choice exam based on the course contents.
Lectures will privilege the analysis of European artistic works over of a historical outline.
The aim of this course is to provide students with a global view of European cultural diversity across epochs and countries, with a particular focus on the variety of artistic forms and genres (cinema, literature, music, painting, etc.) produced in the continent. By analyzing this cultural and artistic environment, the course will contribute to a reflection upon the process of European construction.
Lectures will provide students with some fundamental traits of European culture (that they will mainly discover by themselves), and will focus on some thematic paths that will illustrate the evolution of the European artistic tradition.
Course materials will be provided by the teacher and will be available on Moodle, via a Dropbox link.
