Learning outcomes
The seminar is based on the principles of research-based education, which focuses on maximum student engagement and competency-based learning. Its aim is to share art-historical methodological, analytical, and interpretative approaches with students directly in the field. This targeted and concentrated training will be based on mutual dialogue and collective completion of a specific research task consisting of intensive field research (in the form of joint student excursions led by teachers), combined with comprehensive heuristics and research. The students' work is accompanied by the resolution of specific research questions and topics based on the relevant research task. This task is an artistic phenomenon, a collection of works of art, a specific object, or a selected artifact from the field of early modern visual culture . The material under investigation is systematically analyzed and interpreted within the seminar, using diversified methodological approaches from the field of art history. Students complete individual tasks, but at the same time are encouraged to work together synergistically within the art-historical analysis of the given research task/topic. Important parameters of the course are ongoing evaluation, feedback, and a framework for discussion accompanying all seminar activities. The format of the course is based on intensive fieldwork, joint meetings, as well as individual preparation and work. The seminar, taught by two teachers, is also intended to give students insight into the mutual dialogue between teachers with different methodological approaches.
