This highly innovative program is taught jointly by the Director and Curators of the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Art History staff of the University of Adelaide, in the Art Gallery around objects in the collection, and at the University. It is taught by practising gallery and museum professionals about collection development and management including databases and registration, display and interpretation of objects; and researching, designing, mounting and marketing exhibitions in a range of museums and galleries. By exercising the eye as well as the mind, students are able to thoroughly explore the rich collections and exhibitions. They are encouraged to see those questions reflected in specific works of art, their origins and fabrication; their critical reception; their material composition; their mixed fortunes in the history of taste; their subject matter; their place in the life’s work of the artist who made them, and so on. Students become familiar with the issues involved in curating exhibitions and the principle questions associated with connoisseurship. They will develop the research skills necessary to investigate essential issues in art history including skills in visual analysis.
