Given that this is a subject that is attended during the third year of the degree, the student must
										
											to show solvency not only in the performance of the written tests, but also in the oral tests. 
										
											Likewise, the baggage of having previously attended two degree courses, with subjects ranging from the art of
										
											Antiquity to the Baroque, going through the Renaissance, which should allow the student to have one
										
											prior knowledge of the precedents and historical-artistic circumstances that precede and condition
										
											somehow the characteristics and future of European art of the eighteenth century.

The subject offers a panoramic view of the new artistic Europe in the century
										
											XVIII, time in which a definitive internationalization of the culture takes place. By analyzing the
										
											various artistic manifestations and their creators, will try to influence the intellectual environment and the
										
											permanent dichotomy rationalism-sensualism itself of the illustrated culture, which popularizes the "Grand
										
											Tour "and the one who believes in the progress and happiness of the human being. In short, the subject must
										
											provide knowledge about European art from the 18th century, establishing the differences, persistence, novelties
										
											and contradictions between the late Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassicism, using the aesthetic, historical and
										
											sociological ones that are more suitable to understanding the contents of the syllabus.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

The evaluation will consist of one written test (40% each), an individual essay (20%), one team essay (30%) and a oral presentationof the team work (10%).

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.

The dates of assesment tests will be agreed at the beginning of the academic year between teachers and students, respecting the official calendar.

The student will receive a grade of Not assessable if he/she has not completed more than 40% of the assessment activities. 

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place. 

 

ONE-OFF ASSESSMENT 

The single assessment of this subject will be governed by the specific regulations approved by the UAB.

To obtain a favourable evaluation it is necessary to pass three evidences:

1. Exam of contents (Written test) (40%).

2. Individual work, approximately 4-5 pages long, consisting of the writing of a catalogue file (20%).

3. Team work of synthesis on a question related to the programme of the subject, of approximately 20-25 pages (30%).

The topics of the work will be agreed between teachers and students at the beginning of the academic year.

5% of the final mark is reserved for the monitoring of the tutoring of the assignments.

Unless otherwise indicated, the single assessment tests will coincide with the dates reserved for continuous assessment at the end of the term.

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
