Learning Objectives

Students consolidate theoretical and methodological knowledge and skills related to the cultural-historical processes of the transmission of classical antiquity to modern and contemporary figurative culture.

Program

The course offers an articulate overview about the cultural-historical dynamics of the transmission and permanence of the Classical Antiquity (with specific reference to figure pottery, painting and sculpture) in the visual culture of the modern and contemporary ages (19th-20th centuries). Of a focused and best illustrative selection of figure vases, pictorial and sculptural artifacts from the Greek and Roman world, the following will be examined: the events relating to the discovery (or first attestation), the collecting affiliation and erudite-antiquarian exegesis of the ancient artifacts; the specificities of their manufacture and functional use in their original contexts of relevance; the literary tradition, if any, that has handed down their image; the historical-cultural processes that, over the centuries, have built (and continue to build) their "fame."

Detailed programme of the individual arguments (syllabus) will be disposable through  the Moodle platform during the lessons.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)

Knowledge and understanding: the student will have to demonstrate, through an oral interview, to have learned and elaborated the content and methodological assumptions of the discipline. The candidate must therefore be able to recognize and well frame the contexts and materials presented during the course in the historical and cultural period of reference.

 Applying knowledge and understanding: the student will also have to demonstrate the possession of the analytical and conceptual tools for the interpretation of archaeological data.

Making judgments: the student will have to demonstrate the ability to discuss with maturity and autonomy of judgement the various issues related to the topics of the course, also inserting them in wider and interdisciplinary contexts.

Communication skills: at the end of the course the student will have to acquire adequate skills and tools to expose in an appropriate manner with awareness and using the technical language.

Lifelong learning skills: the student must have developed the necessary learning skills to undertake further studies and in-depth studies with a high degree of autonomy.

Teaching Material

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

Supporting Activities

Educational journeys might be organized  in agreements with the attending students.


Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment

Teaching

In-class lessons, in Italian language, supported by PowerPoints appositely created by the professor and other multimediali open sources. Lessons also in the University's Plaster Cast Museum and possibly in other museums or temporary exhibitions.

Innovative teaching methods

Lectures related to the sculpture will be held in the Plaster Cast Museum; each of the attendees will be assigned the study of a plaster cast for proposing an enhancement project.

Attendance

To be considered as attending student, one needs to attend at least two-thirds of the lessons and perform the exercises assigned by the professor.

It’s opportune that the student has sustained a first level exam regarding the Classical Archaeology (possibly, courses on ‘Archaeology and History of  Greek and Roman Art ’).

Further texts will be indicated during the lessons.

The texts are available in the archaeological library of the SBA (Albani Palace, via del Balestriere 2, ground floor plan).

Assessment

Oral examination. The attending student is expected to demonstrate the knowledge and comprehension of themes treated during the classes and of the above mentioned texts. He must demonstrate to have acquired an autonomous knowledge of the matter, a capacity of recognizing and adequately analyzing the monuments on the base of the images of them; a capacity of contextualizing correctly them in reference to the geographical, historical, and cultural ambit of relevance; a capacity of exposing the matter with an appropriate language and the scientific terminology of the discipline.

The assessment provides that the candidate knows how to frame contexts, monuments and materials through the images that will be proposed by the teacher and that is able to start from these to elaborate a broader discourse on historical, economic and artistic aspects.

The evaluation of the candidate will take place based on the coherence and completeness of the answers, as well as the ability to classify the issues discussed during the lessons.

In the evaluation, it will also be fundamental that the candidate demonstrates the ability to use the technical language  appropriately.

They will give rise to evaluations of excellence: the student's possession of critical abilities in the exposition of the problems inherent in the course, with historical connections and  with the knowledge of productions of the Greek and Roman world;  the student must also demonstrate an appropriate use of the technical language.

They will give rise to discrete evaluations: the student's possession of a good knowledge of the contents supported by critical ability and use of an appropriate language and the technical vocabulary of the discipline.

They will give rise to sufficient evaluations: the achievement of minimal knowledge on the subjects dealt during the course, even if there are some gaps and  the use of a language not entirely appropriate.

They will give rise to negative evaluations: serious gaps in the discussion on the issues addressed during the course and the use of an inadequate technical language.
