The course is connected to the following study programs

  • Master's Programme in Fine Arts

Course contents

The course will provide insight into the relationship between the fine arts and fine arts dissemination in various contexts.

 

The course primarily concentrates on pedagogical and didactical issues connected to the role of fine arts subjects in the educational and cultural sectors. Changes in vocational, cultural and social life provide constant challenges and require renewal of fine art didactics' perception and practice. Fundamental didactical questions, curricular issues, and tasks in constant change within and across the fine art subjects will be important. The area of didactics will be addressed, not only with a focus on education and institutions, but in the broader sense of the artist's various dissemination tasks in the community in general. The students' own work and the artistic practice of others will be an integral part of working with and reflecting upon didactical issues in fine art.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will:

  • have insight into the relationship between artistic practice, pedagogy and didactics

  • know didactical terms and be able to apply these to reasoning and argumentation focusing on their own artistic dissemination

  • be able to reflect upon the use of their own artistic practice and that of others in a dissemination context, and develop methods for doing this

  • be familiar with artistic dissemination in a selection of art and culutral institutions and dissemination arenas

  • be able to use new and different arenas for artistic dissemination projects

Examination requirements

Approved observation assignment from someone else's artistic dissemination practice

  • Approved take-home assignments / reflection assignments throughout the course

  • Undertaking of an artistic dissemination project that is presented during the examination

 

Additional information will be provided at the start of the semester.

Teaching methods

The course stresses both theoretical and practical work. Lectures, seminars and practice will be used. Planning, undertaking and reflection upon a dissemination project based on the student's own artistic practice is an integral part of the course.

Further, large and small cultural and fine art insitutions provide arenas for studying others' expression of artistic dissemination. The final project can also be a preliminary project for the master's thesis. Students will receive supervision while undertaking the project.

Evaluation

The study programme manager, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.
