Applying • Students will apply their understanding of European and Czech art history to analyze and compare specific works of art from different periods of the 19th century. • Students will apply knowledge of different movements (e.g., Realism, Impressionism) to interpret and critique works of art within their historical and ideological context. • Students will apply their understanding of Czech art history to identify its contributions to broader European trends. 4. Analyzing • Students will analyze the relationship between different 19th-century artistic movements and their historical contexts. • Students will compare the different approaches of Realists, Impressionists, Symbolists, and Secessionists in terms of their artistic goals and techniques. • Students will analyze the influence of European art movements on Czech art and how these movements evolved. 5. Evaluating • Students will evaluate the impact of European art movements (e.g., Romanticism, Classicism) on the development of modern art. • Students will assess the role of Czech art in the context of European art history and its significance in shaping the broader art world. • Students will evaluate the cultural and philosophical importance of the artistic trends they study, considering their social and political implications. 6. Creating • Students will create their interpretations and analyses of artworks from different movements, synthesizing knowledge from various art styles and historical contexts. • Students will design projects or research papers that explore the interconnections between European and Czech art movements, with a focus on their lasting impact on modern and contemporary art. • Students will propose new ways to engage with 19th-century European and Czech art, connecting historical trends with current artistic practices and theories.
