Objectives
Objectives
The course aims to deepen and consolidate knowledge of a set of fundamental concepts of the Western pictorial tradition, providing students with a framework for interpreting and critically analyzing modern and contemporary pictorial works, in light of the main theoretical issues that have historically developed around the practice of painting, in its historical, aesthetic, and conceptual dimensions. It also has the following specific objectives: to critically analyze the evolution of the theory and practice of painting from prehistory to the contemporary period, highlighting the main changes and continuities over time; to question and reformulate preconceived ideas about the concept of painting, broadening the student's scope of action in the context of their academic research and artistic practice; to stimulate critical thinking and argumentative capacity, encouraging students to formulate and articulate their own interpretations and analyses of pictorial works.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
This course adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, promoting dialogue between art theory and other areas of knowledge, such as literature, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and politics. Throughout the classes, the analysis and discussion of paintings and theoretical texts are complemented by audiovisual resources, namely the projection of images, film excerpts, videos, and interviews. The aim is to stimulate critical thinking and argumentative skills in students, encouraging them to formulate and articulate their own interpretations and analyses through the organization of debates and the scheduling of individual presentations, in which each student is responsible for researching and presenting content previously agreed upon with the instructor.
