The course is organized in three seminars, with each extending over two days. The seminars take place at the beginning, middle and end of the semester and amounts to a total of about 26-30 hours.
The course employs a number of teaching methods, ranging from dialogic lectures to group discussions and presentations with an active use of visual media. We also visit museum and gallery exhibitions in order to view and discuss works of art in situ. Lecturers give individual and collective guidance to students.
