MÜFREDAT:
The Grand Tour of Italy
Overview
Is Italy on top of your wish list? Have you already been there, but you guessed the tour was somehow superficial and you'd like to know more? Would you like to discover art, culture and food of two beautiful regions?
If the reply is 'yes', enrol in The Grand Tour of Italy and prepare yourself for a new and unexpected challenge!
Aims by discovering the heritage of six cities, we will have a closer look at some of the best artworks ever produced. Also, we will understand how to examine and discuss a work of art in a practical and non-academic way.
Mode of delivery blended. One part runs online, with a focus on a different city every week (you can have access to it anytime). Another one will be arranged through Skype sessions (around 90 min each). Both of them will ask your contribution in reading/watching the materials and studying the pictures given.
Intensity: around 6 hours of work per week. You will be asked to go through a set materials and get ready for the live sessions. The tutor will NOT lecture participants; rather, he will distribute tasks and provide help.
Patterns of interaction: The online activities will be divided into individual ones, pair-work and group-work.

This refers to the study of what colours are composed of and why certain combinations may look better, or more appropriate, than others. Physics and chemistry are heavily involved, as well as our cultural understanding of the world around us.
