Learning Outcomes
The students who choose the course "The Medieval
techniques of painting and Byzantine painting"
are expected to be taught the painter’s
secrets and techniques. In particular, they
will be initiated in:
a) painting surfaces
b) binders, their use and their viscosity,
c) colors and
d) the metals, especially gold and its
diversity of use. This technological language
and knowledge of the materials will help
them to decode and understand more easily
the secrets of the art of painting, hoping to
give them the stimulus to deal with it.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an international context
- Design and manage projects
- Respect natural environment
Course Content (Syllabus)
The theoretical and practical learning of the techniques and materials of medieval and Byzantine painting aims to bring the interested student in contact, as Daniel Thompson would say, with the "Cooking of Art". Through this process the practitioner will learn the nature and the origin of the materials, with which the great painters and other people, created their works. The paintings are the result of the changing needs of the painters and the society in which they reveal their work. The content’s course is not intended to provide the student with a sterile list of information, but for him to realize over time how a painter receives "Dead material" and gives it life.
