Course contents
The title of the course is: Visiting artwork: the passionate involvement of the observer. It will be focused on the different ways in which the work of art involves his observers. In particular, we'll take into account passionate reactions, rhythms of reading, gaze and body movements .
The second part of the course (march 9- April 8) will propose an interdisciplinary approach to the theme of "Museum fruition", involving both Semiotics and Psychology of Art. It'll propose integrated didactic lectures with prof. Stefano Ferrari's Art Psychology course. More informations about this didactic project will be given at the beginning of the course.
