Context:
This introductory course is part of the general subject "Art" (30 ECTS Credits).
The contents of this subject are focused on two principal points:
I. To recognise the importance that the Iconography has as an instrumental discipline of Art History in order to do an adequate lecture of the images.
II. To understand that Iconography becomes the complementary tool in order to assimilate the expressional schemes and the meaning of the works of art studied in the other subjects.
Goals:
- To train the student in order to recognise the most usual iconographic cicles in Art.
- To enable to apply the theoretical contents of this subject to the analysis of the image.
- To identify and recognise the most important historiographic schools and the trends in Iconography.
- To know the specific bibliographic resources of the discipline.
- To have a good command of the most important iconographic repertoires.
- To consider the variety and the problems arisen about the images in the different cultures.
- To have a good command of the adequate historic-artistic vocabulary.
