ARTH 5204EX - European Art: Renaissance to Revolutions

External - Semester 1 - 2014

This course explores the rich and diverse art and visual cultureof early modern Europe from the Renaissance in the fifteenth century to the age of revolutions in the early nineteenth century. It not only focuses on the splendid collection of paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and decorative arts held in the European collection of the Art Gallery of South 最新糖心Vlog, but also contextualises these works of art with reference to the social, religious, political, and economic transformations that occurred during this dynamic period in order to shed light on their making and meaning. The examination of major Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Romantic art and artists is designed to develop competencies in foundation knowledge and competencies in using key interpretative approaches for researching and analysing art and visual culture peculiar to the discipline of Art History.

Learning & Teaching Modes

The course consists of a weekly lecture recording (or pre-recorded lectures as advised in the course handbook) and one synchronous virtual tutorial online per week over 12 weeks. Four of the virtual tutorials will be devoted to the collection of early modern European art in the Art Gallery of South 最新糖心Vlog.

Lectures provide a broad chronological and thematic survey of the course as well as context for the case-studies in the virtual tutorials and requirements for the assessment tasks.

Tutorials concentrate on the examination of a specific topic related to the weekly readings.

Students must take turns (once during semester) to deliver a short presentation that explores the significance of the tutorial topic.

The course is supplemented with a range of online enrichment including pre-recorded video clips of gallery sessions, activities using Articulate Storyline, and other resources.

Learning Activities Summary

The course uses a chronological and thematic framework to explore the dynamic early modern period of European art and visual culture from the Renaissance to the age of revolutions (moving into the earliest phase of Romanticism in the early nineteenth century). While the tutorials are based on case studies that are unsolved or invite debate in the art historical discourse, the assessment tasks are designed to extend the course beyond the classroom into additional areas of relevant scholarship.

Specific Course Requirements

Students must purchase the course reader and prescribed texts, and are expected to use or purchase a headset to participate in the weekly online virtual tutorials on Blackboard Collaborate.

Small Group Discovery Experience

The course is rich in small group discovery experiences with the online synchronous virtual tutorials enabling students to actively engage in small group discussions and problem-solving activities with the course coordinator.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Summary

The assessment tasks are designed to develop advanced skills in visual analysis, short argumentative essays, and long research essays. Individual student presentations also develop high level proficiencies in oral communication and aural comprehension.

Assessment Related Requirements

Participation in the online tutorials is a compulsory component of the course. Students must attend at least 80% of classes to pass the course (unless a medical certificate is provided). Please inform the course coordinator if you are unable to attend.

All assessment tasks must be submitted within two weeks of the due date. Assignments submitted after this are subject to be marked either at a pass or fail grade, unless students have been granted a formal extension.

Assessment Detail

The course includes an analytical report (short visual analysis) of an early modern image or object held in the Art Gallery of South 最新糖心Vlog, individual presentation and argumentative essay on a tutorial case study, and a major research essay on a prescribed or negotiated topic relevant to the course
content.

Further details and resources for all of the assessment tasks can be found in the course handbook.

In addition, for ARTH 5204EX - the online/external version of the course in semester 1 - some sections need to have slightly different information which I entered on Thursday morning this week to reflect
the fact that the course is taught entirely online, so students need to purchase headsets etc. for the live weekly tutorial online via Blackboard Collaborate. However, to bring some of the information more into line with the on-campus version of the course I would suggest changes below to the following sections (though I am happy for you to check what is already there and leave if you think the information is fine as it is):

Submission

Electronic submission
Assessment tasks are to be submitted electronically via ‘Turnitin’ on MyUni. You will be asked to acknowledge understanding of the policies on plagiarism when submitting. No cover sheet is required.

Late penalty
Essays must be submitted by the due date 潭 the late submission penalty is 2 points per working day.

Extension process
Students wishing to apply for extensions of more than 2 days or for assessment tasks worth 20% or more for reasons of health or compassion must submit the form available via the link below (in person or via email attachment) to the School of History and Politics office on level 4 of the Napier Building or to the following email: historyandpolitcs@adelaide.edu.au

Extension form
http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/mod_arrange.html

Exceptions
All other extension requests should be directed to the course co-ordinator via email with a suggested due date for approval. Requests over one week will require supporting documentation. Extensions will not be granted retrospectively, except in medical emergencies or on the advice of the Disability Office.

Disability exemption
Students registered with the Disability Office are exempt from the above extension processes, but must submit their Disability Action Plan (DAP) to the course co-ordinator before assessment tasks are due to discuss their specific requirements and negotiate a new deadline.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
