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 Māori 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. 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. Focuses on work by contemporary Pacific artists, exploring the ways that they translate indigenous knowledge and urban experiences into gallery forms such as painting, installation, performance, film and video making. Themes such as migration and diaspora, language and memory, notions of homelands and return, and the creation of complex cultural identities will be explored. Explores the transition from traditional to contemporary forms and themes in European and American sculpture. The focus is on artistic activity in Paris from 1900 to 1914 with consideration of definitions of sculpture, abstraction, processes, materials, influences and innovation. Major artists and topics include Picasso, Brancusi, Moore, Constructivism, Futurism, Paris as an art centre, and sculpture and gender. An up-to-date look at current developments in sculpture in New Zealand and Australia, specifically in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne. Topics include urban revitalisation, cultural tourism and the rise of large scale sculpture as event and destination, focusing on Sculpture on the Gulf, Terry Stringer's sculpture park Zealandia, Connells Bay Sculpture Park on Waiheke Island and the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. The use of art to display, enhance, and justify political power and piety and to promote political and religious ideologies in the major power centres of seventeenth-century Europe in the Baroque period. Refers to the work of artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Velasquez, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Le Brun, Jones and Wren. An examination of the society and culture of Europe between 1400 and 1700 as expressed in print and visual images. Topics include court and merchant culture, popular cultures, religious faith and the Reformation, festivals, literacy and the book, family and marriage, food, sexualities, witchcraft, death and disease. Explores the growing trend of art crime through a focus on five primary areas: theft, fraud, smuggling, forgery, and vandalism. These will be examined within the context of international and New Zealand case studies, including the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Nazi looting in World War II, and thefts during the Iraq War in 2003. Ways to curb such crime, particularly the development of art crime squads, will also be discussed. Explores the intersection of gender and ethnicity with the visual arts. Emphasis will be on art forms and traditions in Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Australia, with some reference to the Pacific, including photography, film, jewellery, tattoo and textiles.

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. Focuses on work by contemporary Pacific artists, exploring the ways that they translate indigenous knowledge and urban experiences into gallery forms such as painting, installation, performance, film and video making. Themes such as migration and diaspora, language and memory, notions of homelands and return, and the creation of complex cultural identities will be explored. Explores the transition from traditional to contemporary forms and themes in European and American sculpture. The focus is on artistic activity in Paris from 1900 to 1914 with consideration of definitions of sculpture, abstraction, processes, materials, influences and innovation. Major artists and topics include Picasso, Brancusi, Moore, Constructivism, Futurism, Paris as an art centre, and sculpture and gender. An up-to-date look at current developments in sculpture in New Zealand and Australia, specifically in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne. Topics include urban revitalisation, cultural tourism and the rise of large scale sculpture as event and destination, focusing on Sculpture on the Gulf, Terry Stringer's sculpture park Zealandia, Connells Bay Sculpture Park on Waiheke Island and the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. The use of art to display, enhance, and justify political power and piety and to promote political and religious ideologies in the major power centres of seventeenth-century Europe in the Baroque period. Refers to the work of artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Velasquez, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Le Brun, Jones and Wren.

Explores the growing trend of art crime through a focus on five primary areas: theft, fraud, smuggling, forgery, and vandalism. These will be examined within the context of international and New Zealand case studies, including the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Nazi looting in World War II, and thefts during the Iraq War in 2003. Ways to curb such crime, particularly the development of art crime squads, will also be discussed. Explores the intersection of gender and ethnicity with the visual arts. Emphasis will be on art forms and traditions in Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Australia, with some reference to the Pacific, including photography, film, jewellery, tattoo and textiles. A focus on contemporary art practice in New Zealand from the 1970s to the present. It opens with the later modernist period, charting its influences and developments into post-object and post-modern practice. It also considers artists dealing with issues relating to feminism and gender and examines landscape and popular culture, perceived from indigenous, settler and migrant perspectives. A journey into the motivations and inspirations behind the production of art in Renaissance Italy, this course examines the social, economic, religious and political relationships between patrons, artists and artworks c.1400 - c.1520 in a variety of civic, religious, familial, artistic and spatial contexts. It ranges from Florence to Milan, the Medicis to the Sforzas, Duccio to Donatello, Leonardo to Michelangelo. Considers Māori visual art from arrival from the Pacific to the present day. Examines how artists critically negotiated current notions of identity in their work. Forms including moko, carving, weaving, architecture, film and contemporary art are explored through key ideas such as gender politics, patronage, and repatriation. Artists examined include Raharuhi Rukupo, Te Kooti, Pine Taiapa, Lisa Reihana and Ralph Hotere. A detailed examination of the work and influence in painting and printmaking of the most important German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dūrer. 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.

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 Māori 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. 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.

A detailed examination of Albrecht Dūrer's work and influence in painting and printmaking as the most important German Renaissance artist. 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.

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.

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. Focuses on work by contemporary Pacific artists, exploring the ways that they translate indigenous knowledge and urban experiences into gallery forms such as painting, installation, performance, film and video making. Themes such as migration and diaspora, language and memory, notions of homelands and return, and the creation of complex cultural identities will be explored.

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 Māori 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. 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.

An up-to-date look at current developments in sculpture in New Zealand and Australia, specifically in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne. Topics include urban revitalisation, cultural tourism and the rise of large scale sculpture as event and destination, focusing on Sculpture on the Gulf, Terry Stringer's sculpture park Zealandia, Connells Bay Sculpture Park on Waiheke Island and the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. The use of art to display, enhance, and justify political power and piety and to promote political and religious ideologies in the major power centres of seventeenth-century Europe in the Baroque period. Refers to the work of artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Velasquez, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Le Brun, Jones and Wren. An examination of the society and culture of Europe between 1400 and 1700 as expressed in print and visual images. Topics include court and merchant culture, popular cultures, religious faith and the Reformation, festivals, literacy and the book, family and marriage, food, sexualities, witchcraft, death and disease. Highlights the importance of studying original artworks in context. Contexts for artworks include the original setting, such as a palace, monastery, or town hall, to wider examinations of the socio-historical situations in which they were created. In addition, new museological contexts for artworks offer insight into the display and interpretation of visual culture. Explores the growing trend of art crime through a focus on five primary areas: theft, fraud, smuggling, forgery, and vandalism. These will be examined within the context of international and New Zealand case studies, including the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Nazi looting in World War II, and thefts during the Iraq War in 2003. Ways to curb such crime, particularly the development of art crime squads, will also be discussed. Explores the intersection of gender and ethnicity with the visual arts. Emphasis will be on art forms and traditions in Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Australia, with some reference to the Pacific, including photography, film, jewellery, tattoo and textiles.

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 Māori 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. 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. Focuses on work by contemporary Pacific artists, exploring the ways that they translate indigenous knowledge and urban experiences into gallery forms such as painting, installation, performance, film and video making. Themes such as migration and diaspora, language and memory, notions of homelands and return, and the creation of complex cultural identities will be explored. Explores the transition from traditional to contemporary forms and themes in European and American sculpture. The focus is on artistic activity in Paris from 1900 to 1914 with consideration of definitions of sculpture, abstraction, processes, materials, influences and innovation. Major artists and topics include Picasso, Brancusi, Moore, Constructivism, Futurism, Paris as an art centre, and sculpture and gender. An up-to-date look at current developments in sculpture in New Zealand and Australia, specifically in Auckland, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne. Topics include urban revitalisation, cultural tourism and the rise of large scale sculpture as event and destination, focusing on Sculpture on the Gulf, Terry Stringer's sculpture park Zealandia, Connells Bay Sculpture Park on Waiheke Island and the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. The use of art to display, enhance, and justify political power and piety and to promote political and religious ideologies in the major power centres of seventeenth-century Europe in the Baroque period. Refers to the work of artists such as Caravaggio, Bernini, Velasquez, Rubens, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Le Brun, Jones and Wren. An examination of the society and culture of Europe between 1400 and 1700 as expressed in print and visual images. Topics include court and merchant culture, popular cultures, religious faith and the Reformation, festivals, literacy and the book, family and marriage, food, sexualities, witchcraft, death and disease. Explores the growing trend of art crime through a focus on five primary areas: theft, fraud, smuggling, forgery, and vandalism. These will be examined within the context of international and New Zealand case studies, including the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Nazi looting in World War II, and thefts during the Iraq War in 2003. Ways to curb such crime, particularly the development of art crime squads, will also be discussed. Explores the intersection of gender and ethnicity with the visual arts. Emphasis will be on art forms and traditions in Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Australia, with some reference to the Pacific, including photography, film, jewellery, tattoo and textiles.
