Postgraduate Diploma in Aesthetics and Art History.
Aesthetics is a philosophical discipline that focuses on the study of beauty and art, as well as on the sensory and emotional perception that the aesthetic experience produces in us. It is concerned with analyzing works of art from the point of view of their meaning, form and content, and with reflecting on the role of the viewer in the process of interpretation.
On the other hand, art history is a discipline that studies artistic forms over time, analyzing their evolution and their relationship to the historical, social and cultural context in which they were produced. Art history focuses on the analysis of works of art, approaching them from different approaches, such as artistic, stylistic or iconographic, and their relationship with artistic currents, movements and trends that have emerged over time in different cultures and geographical areas.
Together, aesthetics and art history complement each other to provide a deep understanding of the artistic experience and the ability to analyze and critically reflect on works of art. Both disciplines help us to better understand the meaning and importance of art in society, as well as to formulate aesthetic and critical judgments about works.
TECH the world's largest digital university has the specialized academic program designed to provide an in-depth understanding of different aspects of aesthetics and art history, as well as skills to critically analyze works of art and aesthetic theories.
