Course GA-11 SPANISH PAINTING FROM TO PICASSO (45 class hours) Lecturer: Dr. Alberto Fernández González ([email protected]) Substitute Lecturer: Dr. Joaquín Álvarez Cruz ([email protected] )

OBJECTIVES The aim of this Course is to allow students from abroad to become familiar with the art scene in between circa 1550 and 1973, especially with regard to Painting. Divided into syllabus blocks, class sessions will explore areas of interest such as Renaissance Painting, Baroque Art, Painting and Neoclassicism, the Pictorial Art of the Romantic Period, of the remaining Nineteenth Century, and of the Twentieth. Special attention will be paid to the insertion of Painting within the environment of other art forms (Architecture, Sculpture, and the Applied Arts), while also debating the cultural and social phenomena which contribute to the characterization of each of the periods concerned and which exert an influence upon the genesis and evolution of art forms.

METHODOLOGY Class sessions will be carried out in such a way as to cater for students from abroad who may not be sufficiently familiar with the art forms of the Hispanic world. The inconveniences derived from language use will be kept in mind, therefore, as well as the kind of cultural background and training students would already have experienced. Practical classes will also be held at Sevilla's Museum of Fine Arts, so that the learning process in which students are involved can develop in direct contact with the paintings on display, while possible exhibitions related to Course content will also be visited.
