Inhoud

The second year Theory programme contains Profile History and Philosophy & Art Theory.
 
Profile History considers Western theories of art and art criticism operating in contemporary art, with a significant focus on different media.  Students explore the tensions and continuities between different perspectives on art practice and theory, including the discourses of art criticism and social theory in a global context. Students build skills in visual analysis, critical thinking and writing about art and imagery as well as approaches to visual and textual research.
 
Philosophy & Art Theory investigates the complex process of perception and how this relates to cultural factors.  In the first period, the student is taught to gain insights in contemporary culture based on the various theories raised concerning philosophers associated with art. Concerning philosophy the student is taught to connect theories of significant 20th century (art) philosophers to their art practice. Students build skills in visual analysis, critical thinking and writing about art and imagery as well as approaches to visual and textual research.
