The purpose of the course is to help form a "visually literate" individual who will be able to structure and critically receive visual information and work with it - ideally for the benefit of both his and his pupils. The knowledge base should enable the graduate to combine knowledge in the field of art history, or visual culture with historiographic practice, to equip him with the elementary skills necessary to interpret and criticize the sources of iconographic nature and to convey his orientation in an environment where a lot of visual information grows as fast as their manipulation potential. Of course, the fundamentals of the subject must continue to be based on classical fundamentals of the interpretation of fine art. However, their necessity does not lie in the need to confess in the hermetic and exclusive world of works of art, but in the world that surrounds us during everyday life. Therefore, the course axis is not a chronological encyclopaedic overview of styles, personalities and canonical works, but a catalog of selected problems and methodological approaches.
