Stage 2 (2nd Year) Art History
Stage 2 (2nd Year) Art History courses offer students the opportunity to examine the art of Classical antiquity, the history of Irish art from the 17th to the early 20th century, the major works of sculptors in Europe from the Renaissance to Neoclassicism, and the buildings, architects, new ideas and technologies that shaped 20th century architecture.
For students continuing their studies from Stage 1 these courses will expand upon their understanding of the various epochs of art-making, the key debates and issues that have resonated throughout the history of art from antiquity to the present day.
All Art History Stage 2 (2nd Year) modules are worth 5 credits and there are 8 available – 4 core lecture modules and 4 complementary seminar ‘studies in’ modules for students wishing to major in Art History. Taken together, these lecture and seminar modules form themselves into paired groups allowing you to simultaneously simplify, yet add greater depth to your study of Art History at UCD. The proposed course for 2012-13 are as follows:
- AH20030 - Modernism
- AH20050 - Modern Architecture
- AH20010 - Irish Painting
- AH20070 - Art & Architecture of Classical Antiquity
- AH20040 - Studies in Modernism
- AH20060 - Studies in Modern Architecture
- AH20020 - Studies in Irish Painting
- AH20080 - Studies in Antiquity
A document containing full details about the lecture & seminar modules, major/minor module options and combinations is available below.
Students who are taking Art History as either a 25/30 credit major may take all 8 modules if they wish, using their elective choices to do so. However students taking Art History as a minor may choose from lecture modules only.
