Learning outcomes

The course main target is to illustrate the main pictorial techniques used between Middle Ages and Modern History trying to increase the knowledge of these themes through the introduction of study cases. This can allow to expand the critical consideration on techniques in the working context for the artists.
The education course considers that students will acquire the ability of critically evaluate the material component of works of art, understanding the historical involvement and expressive elements. The in-depth analysis will focus on wall painting (from Giotto to Raffaello) giving the awareness of the various painters’ modus operandi and their activities. Through the study cases will be introduced detailed studies on scientific diagnostics and the conservative themes about Restoration History.

Program

THE WALL PAINTING FROM FOURTEENTH TO SIXTEENTH CENTURY

During the course will be studied the artistic techniques that characterize the wall painting, focusing on the work of some Masters, like Giotto, Pisanello and Raffaello. For this aim will be considered significative study cases that will give the chance to go into details not only about technical specificities of single painters, but also introducing aspects related to the cultural contest, to diagnostic as knowledge instrument of the creative processes of artistic elaboration.
There will be a preparatory route about main pictorial techniques used during Middle Ages and Modern Age, due to a partition that will focus on wall painting, panel painting and canvas, giving to the students a chance to frame single study cases and the essential methods for the subject knowledge.
The themes explained during the lessons will be illustrated by slides with captions that will be available also for not-present students in e-learning.
