Afternoon: independent reading propaedeutic to the following lesson.
Evaluation: A written assignment is due on 30 September 2022.
Kommentare/ Inhalte: This summer school introduces its participants to Egyptian art, but it does so in an unusual way. Rather than being a traditional course on art history, it trains students to understand and interpret what lies behind the considerable sophistication of the pharaonic artefacts – above all, paintings and sculptures – which in some cases are considered universal masterpieces.

Starting from the question "What makes Egyptian art recognisable as such?", the attendees will be directly involved and trained in the observation and interpretation of images, symbols, rules and stylistic conventions that regulated the creation of pharaonic artistic products.

Is Egyptian art realistic? Does it have a decorative purpose? Why do Egyptian statues look "emotionless"? Is there an evolution in their style and iconography, or do they remain faithful to a "canon" throughout the entire Egyptian history?

These are only some of many questions that the course will try to answer.

No prerequisites are needed to attend the course.
Vorgehen: The summer school is based on a combined use of traditional lessons, independent reading, and audio-visual materials.
Zusätzliche Hinweise zu Prüfungen: Form of assessment: After the completion of the course, the attendees will have 2 weeks to prepare a written description (similar to a catalogue description) of an Egyptian artefact.
