Learning outcomes This course aims to provide a broad perspective on the History of Art and Costume, covering its most important periods and thus enabling students to realise when and why this history truly begins, differentiating it from a more generic history of clothing.
At the end of the course, students should be able to identify and locate (in space and time) the periods that have marked the history of art and clothing; characterise each period according to its context and understand the importance of this contextualisation and how clothing reflects the art of each historical period, differentiating it from a more generic history of clothing; understand the arbitrariness inherent in the practices, forms and concepts worked on by fashion; work individually and in groups, demonstrating an understanding of the established parameters; be concerned about the quality of the work presented (orally and in writing) and the fulfilment of the proposed objectives.
