Emil Hilje - Courses

EMIL HILJE: ROMANESQUE AND GOTHIC ART

I. The course of Romanesque and Gothic art is supposed to give the fundamental knowledge about art in Europe, and especially in Croatia, between 1000 and 1500. The students have to learn stylistic elements of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, sculpture and painting. They are also expected to memorize and to be able to recognize the most important monuments of European and Croatian Romanesque and Gothic art.

II. The course of Romanesque and Gothic art is one of the seven main courses of the art history study at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar. We also expect that students with attachment to medieval art take every year one of the facultative courses releted to the main course, so that at the end of the study they may become some sort of specialists.

III. All learning about art is obligatory connected with visual materials. At this point of developing the course we are transfering reproductions from the books and other illustrations to a digital form, so that students can get them on the simple CD. The course is devided in two parts: lectures and seminars. After each lecture students ask questions about the subject, and after seminars the discussion is obligatory. We have luck to live in the city with lots of considerable monuments of Romanesque and Gothic art, so that we hold approximately half of our seminars outside the classroom, in direct contact with objects of art.

IV. The course of Romanesque and Gothic art has two hours of lectures and two hours of seminars each week. Lectures mostly contain topics related to European art, and seminars those related to Croatian art. A week-by-week division is as following:
