Postgraduate Certificate in Prehistoric to Gothic Art.

The art of prehistory developed about 30,000 years ago and was characterized by cave paintings in caves and rocks, as well as the creation of small sculptures in stone and bone. The main purpose of these works of art was to document the daily life and experiences of prehistory. It is the set of artistic expressions produced by human cultures that inhabited the planet before the emergence of writing and history. These artistic manifestations include ritual objects, tools, dwellings, sculptures and cave paintings.

Prehistory includes different periods, from the Stone Age to the Metal Age. During the Stone Age, cave paintings in caves and shelters depicting animals and everyday scenes are prominent. In the Metal Age, cultures such as the Celtic developed, which were characterized by the use of geometric motifs and the decoration of metal objects.

Ancient art developed in different cultures around the world, from ancient Mesopotamia to ancient Greece and Rome. The main art forms in these cultures were architecture, sculpture and painting.

During the Middle Ages, from the 4th century to the mid-15th century, Romanesque and Gothic art developed. Both styles were characterized by the creation of large religious buildings and the use of geometry in architectural designs. Gothic art is characterized by the use of exaggerated decorative elements, such as pointed arches and high reliefs.

After the Renaissance, in the 15th century, the Baroque developed, a style characterized by extravagance and exaggeration. Modern art began in the late 19th century to the present day and is characterized by experimentation and innovation in the creation of works of art.

Students pursuing this program would have the opportunity to specialize in art history and gain a detailed understanding of the development of artistic styles and trends from prehistoric to Gothic.
