Inhalt
The seminar has a triple focus.

Firstly, art. Through an engagement with the British visual arts, students are to become acquainted with a pictorial tradition that moved from the imitation of Continental models to landscape painters and Romanticists like Constable (1776-1837) and Turner (1775-1851), from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (founded in 1848) and Whistler (1834-1903) to more contemporary artists like Hockney (born 1937), the Young British Artists of the 1990s, and Banksy (who rose to prominence in the 2000s). Finishing off with Brexit art, particular attention will be paid to art as an expression, mediation and construction of British culture.

Secondly, teaching art. We will consider appropriate ways of presenting art and learn about British art mostly in the form of student presentations. These presentations are encouraged to itself try out innovative formats of presenting their subjects. In this context, we re also going to look at ways of incorporating an aesthetic education within the English school curriculum and in education more generally.

Thirdly, teaching as art. For this we're going to deal with paintings, novels and films depicting teachers (for example, To Sir, with Love, 1967, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, 1969, Dead Poets Society, 1989, The History Boys, 2006, and An Education, 2009). We're also going to explore parallels between the domains of art and teaching, such as the necessity of knowledge, skill, creativity and empathy in both disciplines.

As such, the course is not only particularly suitable for future teachers, but also for anyone with an interest in art, British culture, or the skilful presentation of content.
