Course Description
Offered jointly by the University of Adelaide and the Art Gallery of South Australia, students are able to study the collections of the Gallery with teaching provided by curatorial and academic staff at both institutions and by national experts. By exercising the eye as well as the mind, students are able to thoroughly explore in situ or virtually the rich collections and exhibitions of the Art Gallery of South Australia. Students are encouraged to see those questions reflected in specific works of art, their origins and fabrication; their critical reception; their material composition; their mixed fortunes in the history of taste; their subject matter; their place in the life's work of the artist who made them, and so on. Students become familiar with the issues involved in curating exhibitions and the principle questions associated with connoisseurship. They will develop the research skills necessary to investigate essential issues in art history including skills in visual analysis.
