Each week we will focus on a specific theme: - Analyse d’oeuvre : la forme [Analysing a work of art: the form] - Analyse d’œuvre : le contenu [Analysing a work of art : the content] - Le beau dans l’art [Beauty in art] - Art et pouvoir [Art and Power] - Sculpture - Le cadre [the frame] - Miroirs et réflexions dans l’art [Mirrors and reflections in art] - Quand l’œuvre choque : les scandales de l’art [Art scandals] - Grands artistes français de la 2nde moitié du 20e siecle [Great French Artists from the 2nd half of the 20th c.] - A définir, selon vos souhaits !

Resources will be made available to you on Canvas one week before the zoom meeting so that you can prepare each session. Language skills: This is not a language course. To follow this course, it is desirable to have a good level in French, especially in understanding spoken French. Developing skills in speaking French are OK. If and when necessary, English can be used a back-up. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
