1.1. Aims of the course
The subject Disciplinary Contents of History of Art deals with both acquiring and strengthening basic and general competences, but also transversal and specific ones, which in any case are aimed at deepening the knowledge of Art from Prehistory to the present day. These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/en/), so that the acquisition of the learning outcomes of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement: Goal 4: Quality education; Goal 5: Gender equality; Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 10: Reducing inequalities; Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities; Goal 12: Responsible production and consumption; Goal 13: Climate action; Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
The History of Art has as its object of study all the artistic manifestations considered as such at certain moments in History, and how, precisely, the very concept of art has been changing and developing, both in its contents and its aims, together with the historical evolution of civilizations. For this reason, Art History establishes a bridge between the so-called Social Sciences (governed by the space and time reflected in Geography and History) and the teaching of the plastic arts. From the latter, it adopts the plastic elements and aesthetic categories, which it subjects to the evolution of history in order to question any illusion of an eternal aesthetic value, while, compared to the rest of the Social Sciences, it deals with a very important part of the phenomenological manifestations of civilizations, both as objects endowed with an aesthetic value, or as documents loaded with anthropological, social, historical, etc. information. And it is precisely this dialectical nature of Art History that underlies both its autonomy as a discipline and its interdisciplinary nature, especially with other subjects in the Social Sciences and the visual arts.
