In the evaluation of the student's performance, special emphasis is placed on evaluating the extent to which the student:
" masters the fundamental means of meaning construction within visual art;
" is able to analyse works of art with respect to their meaning effects;
" is familiar with the relationship between visual everyday cognition and visual aesthetic cognition;
" is able to structure own work logically and express himself/herself clearly.
The course introduces to the formal means artists dispose of to inscribe meaning in the work of art. Some of these means are genuinely aesthetic, other are not; the latter exploit features that are intrinsically significant in perception. Therefore the course introduces to some of those properties of everyday perception and the visual system that artists use to produce specific meaning effects in their paintings. The course aims at demonstrating that artworks are accessible to rational description and that it is possible to provide with (partial) objective determinations of how and why a given artwork means what it means. Recurrent references are Rudolf Arnheim, Roman Ingarden, Gestalt Theory, Donald D. Hoffman, Michael Leyton and others.
