MyUni:

The lectures provide broad discussion of selected topics relevant to the history of contemporary art, which are complemented by focused tutorial case studies centred on oral presentations and group discussion of the prescribed tutorial readings and images. It is essential that students complete the weekly tutorial readings in order to share ideas, interpret subject matter, develop essential analysis skills and work together cooperatively. Material covered in the lectures and tutorials also provides the basic content for the final piece of assessment.

The course is composed of eight weeks of university lectures (1 hour, 10 minutes) and tutorials (2 hours) as well as four weeks of gallery sessions (3 hours). Students are required to complete the weekly tutorial readings in advance of the tutorials and complete additional reading for their assessment tasks.

Slide Test

Task description: At the end of the course your knowledge of some of the key images covered during the lectures will be examined by a slide test. At each lecture you will be provided with a photocopy listing the salient facts of slides from the lecture. To enable you to familiarise yourself better with these after each lecture, the slides will be on the web at www.myuni.adelaide.edu.au. Prior to the exam you will be given a list of between 25-30 slides and those included in the exam will be drawn from this list.

The slide test will be held under examination conditions. It consists of four single slides (each of five minutes duration) and two comparisons of two slides each (each of 15 minutes duration). For the former, you are expected to identify the artist, title, medium of each image and date and discuss the images. For the latter, you are also expected to identify the artists, title, medium and date and then to compare the images by discussing their iconography, composition and style.

Tutorial (oral) presentation

Task description: The tutorials are intended as an opportunity to give students to discuss the lecture, the readings for the week and relevant works of art. At the first tutorial you will be asked to choose a tutorial topic and week in which you will present this paper. Relevant works of art are to be included in this 10-minute presentation to the class based on the key points of your written paper. Your tutorial paper is due one week after the presentation.

Your presentation is primarily a starting point for discussion and it will be more successful if you do not merely repeat the opinion of the authors you have read. Read critically. Do you agree with their ideas? What have others thought of them? Starting points can be found in the readings listed for the weekly topic. Further readings can be found in the bibliography and in database searches conducted in the Barr Smith Library or on-line. Your analysis should also include knowledge of artists and close observation of works of art.
