Learning unit contents
This course, dedicated to the analysis of creation from 1960 until today, aims to explore the major artistic tendencies.
This course is mainly designed to develop students' critical thinking and their ability to support scientific reasoning.
To do this, students are invited to prepare a written work and an oral presentation on an imposed subject.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Through the questions and subjects that it addresses, this course aims to provide students with training leading to a specialization in the field of the history of contemporary art.
By the end of this course, students will have acquired the knowledge essential for understanding and interpreting the major trends in international contemporary art.
Students will have demonstrated their ability to produce a written work that meets the standards and criteria of scientific research in art history.
They will have acquired skills in heuristic research, and will have learned the importance of producing a coherent text with the methodological rules in art history.
Students will have demonstrated their ability to communicate the results of their research orally, using a constructed diaporama.
Thanks to the debates organized after each session, students will have developed their critical thinking skills and their ability to argue their points.
Last but not least, students will have learned to work collectively on the same theme, and to actively participate in their own formation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
To take this course, students must have taken the first- and second-year courses in contemporary art history (or have some training in the field).
