ARTH 2000OL - Renaissance Art in Northern Europe

Online - Semester 1 - 2022

This course examines Northern Renaissance art, with a focus on the visual traditions and material culture of Flanders and the Netherlands (`Low Countries?), Germany, Switzerland, and France during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The invention of the printing press, impact of the Protestant Reformation, and encounters with the Italian Renaissance art and artists, patrons, and humanists provides an artistic, social, political, and economic framework for interpreting and contextualising the vivid material culture of the Northern Renaissance in reference to innovations in production methods, patronage and collecting activities, and development of novel sacred and secular themes and genres.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
