Description	An essential component of art historical enquiry is the study of works of art and architecture in relation to a specific city and its cultural collections. This module requires students to consider images, artefacts and buildings and their relationship to a particular city. As well as considering individual objects in detail, it explores how these objects relate to the historical development of a city, and how and where they are exhibited in relation to this. The module will focus on specific major architectural projects in the specified location, as well as works in major art collections. These will be explored through a series of lectures devised by staff. If fieldwork takes place for this module, the following costs will be paid by the University: travel from the University of Birmingham or Birmingham central train stations to and from the study trip location, bed and breakfast accommodation and travel insurance. The Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies will set out the course requirements and residency requirements for its students in its briefing material.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Carry out effective independent visual analysis of works of art and architecture they have been introduced to in a series of lectures; Demonstrate an appreciation of the variety of circumstances and conditions under which art and architecture are produced and consumed and be able to relate this to the particular characteristics of the works studied; Interpret specific chosen works of art and architecture in the context of their current location in the environment of a major European artistic centre; Critically engage with the concepts, values and debates that inform the study of artworks in a major city.
