The impact of social and industrial revolution is examined, and developments in portraiture, landscape and history painting are explored. The major artists include Constable, Turner, Goya, Reynolds, Gainsborough, David, Ingres, Gericault and Delacroix. Selected topics in British and French art, photography, art criticism and theory from the 1840s to the 1870s, a crucial period of change in art, with particular foci on Pre-Raphaelitism, leading figures such as Manet, Courbet, Daumier and Whistler, and influential women artists and photographers. A survey of art in Northern Europe with the focus on developments primarily in painting and sculpture, and to a lesser extent in manuscript illumination and tapestry. Religious symbolism, approaches to landscape representation and portraiture are examined, as well as new genres such as still life and architectural painting. Artists studied include van Eyck, Campin, van der Goes, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel. Examines some central concerns that have arisen in late modernist art, exploring the moves, intensifications and political implications of art in the post-1968 period: dematerialisation of the art object, site-specificity, the artist in a commodity culture, activism, questions of identity, notions of looking and spectatorship, interactivity, new media, contemporary censorship and debates about the place of the aesthetic. Auckland architectural history since European settlement has been a history of the struggle between outside influences and the quest for a local architecture. Auckland buildings and urban developments will be studied against the wider architectural, political and social background of New Zealand, as well as developments in Europe, America and Australia. Will involve some visits to buildings near the university. A study of the central role played by architecture and design within twentieth-century Modernism. Dealing with function, materials, decoration and Modernist theory, the course spans the period from Art Nouveau in the 1890s to World War II. The main focus will be on Europe and the United States, with some references to New Zealand. European landscape art emerged in the seventeenth century, exploring aesthetic qualities associated with nature, but also representing social values. English gardens and paintings by such artists as Constable and Turner were signifiers of economic and political change in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as were artworks in colonial New Zealand. Focuses on nineteenth-century British architecture and design. Topics include debates about style and history, relationships between form and function, uses of new technology and the role of ornament, and their relationships to man-made structures and to nature in the context of nineteenth-century social conditions and ideas. Examines the emergence and development of the print as an independent art form in Northern Europe during the Renaissance, with a close study of the works of major artists.

An investigation of the social and cultural history of urbanisation between 1400 and 1700 as expressed in art and architecture. The areas of study will involve looking at art in the spheres of public buildings, religious institutions and private houses. The cities to be covered will include Florence, Bruges, Venice, Antwerp, Rome, Madrid and Amsterdam. Will explore the production and reception of modern art in the context of rapid social, political and technological change during the period from c.1850 to 1970. Modern art is interpreted broadly to include painting, sculpture, design, architecture, performance, photography and film. Issues such as the emergence of the avant garde, primitivism and abstraction will be studied. Explores painting, sculpture and carving, photography and other visual media, both MÄori and European, and landscape, cross-cultural interactions, adaptation and innovation, from the eighteenth century to the near present. Questions such as what is different and new about the visual arts in New Zealand, and how the arts relate to ethnic, social and gender identities are also addressed. Examines emerging questions and topical issues in Art History in a chosen subject area. Is seeing learned? Can an image be read in the same way as a text?

A survey of periods that have provided the foundation of western art and architecture, together with in-depth case studies of artworks from different periods and places. As well as acquiring a broad knowledge of art in its social context, students develop skills in visual and iconographic analysis, essential to the study of art. An investigation of the social and cultural history of urbanisation between 1400 and 1700 as expressed in art and architecture. The areas of study will involve looking at art in the spheres of public buildings, religious institutions and private houses. The cities to be covered will include Florence, Bruges, Venice, Antwerp, Rome, Madrid and Amsterdam. Will explore the production and reception of modern art in the context of rapid social, political and technological change during the period from c.1850 to 1970. Modern art is interpreted broadly to include painting, sculpture, design, architecture, performance, photography and film. Issues such as the emergence of the avant garde, primitivism and abstraction will be studied. Explores painting, sculpture and carving, photography and other visual media, both MÄori and European, and landscape, cross-cultural interactions, adaptation and innovation, from the eighteenth century to the near present. Questions such as what is different and new about the visual arts in New Zealand, and how the arts relate to ethnic, social and gender identities are also addressed. Examines emerging questions and topical issues in Art History in a chosen subject area. Is seeing learned? Can an image be read in the same way as a text? Understanding images is central to everyday life. Visual literacy is fundamental to all disciplines. This course provides students with tools for making sense of various kinds of images and objects: photographs, advertisements, paintings, film, television, comics, cartoons, monuments, buildings, maps, landscape, digital and internet images. Topics in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century painting, sculpture and architecture in Europe, particularly France and Britain. The impact of social and industrial revolution is examined, and developments in portraiture, landscape and history painting are explored. The major artists include Constable, Turner, Goya, Reynolds, Gainsborough, David, Ingres, Gericault and Delacroix. Selected topics in British and French art, photography, art criticism and theory from the 1840s to the 1870s, a crucial period of change in art, with particular foci on Pre-Raphaelitism, leading figures such as Manet, Courbet, Daumier and Whistler, and influential women artists and photographers.

Artists studied include van Eyck, Campin, van der Goes, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel. Examines some central concerns that have arisen in late modernist art, exploring the moves, intensifications and political implications of art in the post-1968 period: dematerialisation of the art object, site-specificity, the artist in a commodity culture, activism, questions of identity, notions of looking and spectatorship, interactivity, new media, contemporary censorship and debates about the place of the aesthetic. Auckland architectural history since European settlement has been a history of the struggle between outside influences and the quest for a local architecture. Auckland buildings and urban developments will be studied against the wider architectural, political and social background of New Zealand, as well as developments in Europe, America and Australia. Will involve some visits to buildings near the university. A study of the central role played by architecture and design within twentieth-century Modernism.
