This course explores the art and architecture of Venice. The primary instruction takes place on site in Venice. Within the settings of the city's churches, palaces, squares and museums, students will study art and architecture of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Particular attention is paid to works of art in their original locations, as well as political, religious and social contexts for art and architecture. Key artists include the Bellini family, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto and Palladio.
There will be 2 preliminary meetings during semester 1, and 3 weeks of on site lectures in Venice, Italy, Monday-Friday (intensive) in June/July.
Students will live and study in Venice, and directly observe and analyzeﾠthe city's art and architecture. Learning will take the form of visits to key sites and lectures by the course convenor. ﾠStudents will develop their abilities to observe, describe, and contextualize art and architecture. This is a unique opportunity for students to haveﾠa study experience abroad. Visits to the Venice Biennale are also a part of the course.
