Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

UPDATE 19/11/2021: Due to the lockdown imposed from November 21, ALL FURTHER dates in November and December will be held DIGITALLY.

Objective: To acquire basic knowledge of Egyptian architecture and art objects from the period of the SIP to the Ptolemaic period. To acquire skills in recognizing and assigning objects and buildings to the respective epochs (chronological phases), as well as to follow developments ("styles"). Pictorial materials, plans and building photographs play an important visual role. An overview of the most important sources on the topics is to be achieved.
Content: Examples of Egyptian art and architecture from the 2nd Intermediate Period to the Ptolemaic period. The development of buildings or their decoration with sculpture (statues), relief and painting is worked out on the basis of pictorial material, plans and building photographs.
Lectures in combination with exercises. Additional learning materials are provided via Moodle. Home exercises in the form of acquiring knowledge of literature and associated discussion. Preparation of an essay on a specific object/building.
The course is planned as a classroom course. In case the capacity of the room booked for the course is exceeded by the number of registrations, the course hybrid will be offered (hybrid: division of the course into groups, which take part in the course in weekly rotation in presence or in synchronous-digital form with webinar tool). In case of another lock-down, the course will be switched to purely digital teaching.
