Today we were asked what else we wanted to learn/ discuss/ explore in our 'Versions' lectures and tutorials and my mind went blank.
Last year in 'Exploring Creative Arts', the lectures focussed on art history and various art movements that took place within the 20th century, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We looked at the Fluxus, Dada, Surrealism, Situationists and Punk movements, as well as looking at the concept of Feminism in art, as well as relational aesthetics and social practices later on in the semester. I would love to continue on studying different art movements that we haven't covered yet.
I have a great interest in history, and to discover the evolution of art throughout the last century was definitely a highlight of my first year. I would really love to study more art history, perhaps looking at art movements previous to the 20th century, looking at what was considered radical pieces in the 17th, 18th or 19th century. We have briefly mentioned Vincent Van Gogh in one of the lectures this semester, however, it would be really nice to expand and look at artists who were unorthodox with their creativity. Another artist who would be interesting to study would be Degas, who was extremely radical with his sculptures.
If we had a few lectures with case studies of particular artists like these two, for example, or dedicated to a few influential art movements, that would be amazing, as it is not only an interest, but also, it would allow us to look at older works of art instead of always looking at more contemporary pieces.
