The document provides an overview of classicism in Greek and Roman art. It discusses how Greek artists in the 5th-4th centuries BCE established ideals of beauty that emphasized symmetry, proportion and the human form. Key Greek sculptors like Polykleitos developed canons of proportion based on the ideal human body. The Greeks also captured perfection in their representations of gods. Roman art emulated and spread these classical ideals throughout their empire.

Is a picture worth 1,000 words? Textual AnalysisDeborahJ
This lecture will introduce semiotics or the semiology of art, a mechanism for deriving meaning that is considered to a more inclusive development of Panofsky’s Iconography
This Powerpoint slideshow presentation briefly sketches the development of sculpture in ancient Greece, from its humble beginning in the Greek islands to its zenith in the Hellenistic age. It maps out the milestones and advances made in stages, with the help of images of Greek masterpieces, like the Sulky Kore, the Kritios Boy, the Artemision Bronze, the Riace Bronzes etc. The Ancient Greece is unique amongst the ancient civilizations to develop such very level high of naturalism, with its expressive and life-like sculptures. According to some art historians they were driven largely by the spirit rooted in the belief that man is a free, indeed an exalted, being or simply their idea and love of beauty.
"Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now“
The power of the image: Contemporary art, gender, and the politics of perceptionDeborahJ
The relation between visual representations and the identity of the human subject.
The ideas and research that have informed this lecture are grounded in the areas of queer theory, gender studies, critical race theory, and feminist studies.
The global image. from consumer culture to the digital revolution DeborahJ
The Global Image: From Consumer Culture to the Digital Revolution is focused on the way we engage with images in the post-Internet era, when they can be shared, reproduced, altered, and distributed more easily than ever before in human history.
Beyond the visual: The Body in Contemporary ArtDeborahJ
When we think of the Body in Contemporary Art we could consider a number of different and relevant aspects. For instance, the body - the human form - is central in art, traditionally the body was often used to explore allegory, beauty and sexuality and so on. But in the twentieth century there was a significant shift in both how the body was perceived, and how it was used to create art across a range of media, from painting and sculpture to installation, photography, video art, performance and participatory art. By considering the different roles played by the body in art, we can identify that there has been a shift from being the subject, for example, in a portraiture, to becoming an active presence in live and participatory events. Alongside this there has also been a significant transformation of the role of the audience, broadly speaking, from passive viewer to active participant.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Greek Classicism
Greek Civilization
“Man is the measure
of all things.”
Artists studied human beings
intensely, then distilled their
newfound knowledge to
capture in their art works the
essence of humanity
3. Greek Classicism
Greek Art
Greek artists of the fifth and fourth
centuries BCE established a
benchmark for art against which
succeeding generations of artists
and patrons in the Western world
have since measured quality.
5. The Classical Period in Greek Art
The Greeks would establish an
ideal of beauty that has
endured in the Western world
to this day
6. The Golden Ratio

9. Idealism
Maxims carved on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi:
• “Man is the measure of all things.” Seek an ideal based on the human form.
• “Know thyself.” Seek the inner significance of forms
• “Nothing in excess.” Reproduce only essential forms.
11. "...beauty does not consist in the elements but
in the symmetry of the parts, the proportion of
one finger to another, of all the fingers to the
hand, of the hand to the forearm, of the
forearm to the upper arm, of all the parts to all
others as it is written in the canon of
Polykleitos.“

Editor's Notes
Polykleitos, Doryphoros (Spear Bearer), 450-440 BCE.
Established a canon, or accepted criterion, of consummate male beauty achieved with a system of mathematical proportions.
"...beauty does not consist in the elements but in the symmetry of the parts, the proportion of one finger to another, of all the fingers to the hand, of the hand to the forearm, of the forearm to the upper arm, of all the parts to all others as it is written in the canon of Polykleitos.“Galen (2AD)
• Obsession with balance and harmony is expressed by each weight-bearing limb being placed in diagonal opposition to a relaxed one.
• This underscores the principle of contrapposto:
o Disposition of body parts to show movement; one part turned in opposition to the other; weight shift; one side tense and the other relaxed.
• The right side of the body has the solidity of an Ionic column, bringing stability to the energetic expression of the left.
• Doryphorus displays the transformation of body position which precedes movement, and it marks the point where the evolution of depicting motion in sculpture originates.
• He is a warrior and originally carried a spear in his left hand.
• In ancient Greece, battle was the supreme test of masculinity, yet he is not dressed in armour, for the naked body was a symbol for military might.
• His muscular, heavy body displays an internal firmness.
Myron, Diskobolos (Discus Thrower), Roman copy after the original bronze of c. 450 BCE.
• A new peak in the development of gesture and movement.
• Its intense, yet credible, motion is expressed in static terms.
• Movement is the physical expression of action, and should be vivid and immediate, but not so fleeting that it defies rational analysis.
• Patterns isolated within continual movement convey the whole nature of transition.
• This brings rhythmos, or rational order to motion.
• Myron achieves this through the composition of the Diskobolus.
• The limbs balance one another in a complex pattern of forms, with bisecting curves creating the feeling of a taut bow ready to explode.
• The pose suggests a winding and unwinding tension of the body emphasizing the probable trajectory of the discus.
• With the Diskobolus we see the physical expression of mutability, and a new significance attached to human action.
• Throughout the fifth century BCE, sculptors carefully maintained the equilibrium between simplicity and ornament that is fundamental to Greek Classical art.
• Standards established by Pheidias and Polykeitos in the mid-fifth century BCE for the ideal proportions and idealized forms had generally been accepted by the next generation of artists
• Fourth-century BCE artists, however, challenged and modified those standards.
o Developed a new canon of proportions for male figures
8 or more “heads” tall rather than the 6 1/2- or 7-head height of earlier works.
o The calm, noble detachment characteristic of earlier figures gave way to more sensitively rendered images of men and women
o Expressions of wistful introspection, dreaminess, or even fleeting anxiety.
• Kore (korai, pl.)
• More varied than the kouros
• Always clothed, poses different problem: how to relate body and drapery
• More likely to reflect changing habits and or local differences of dress
o Peplos: a draped rectangle of cloth, usually wool, folded over at the top, pinned at the shoulders, and belted to give a bloused effect
o Chiton: like the peplos, but fuller; relatively lightweight rectangle of cloth pinned along the shoulders
o Himation: cloak, draped diagonally and fastend on one shoulder; worn over chiton
• Erect, immobile, vertical pose
• Three Goddesses from east pediment of the Parthenon, 438-432 BCE
o Ease of movement
o No violence or pathos
o No specific action of any kind, only a deep felt poetry of being
o Soft fullness, enveloped in thin drapery
o “wet-drapery”
o “slip-strap”
o body both lusciously revealed and tantalizing veiled by clinging folds
Vertical fall of drapery on engaged leg resembles fluting of a column shaft: provides sense of stability
Bent leg gives an impression of relaxed grace and effortless support
Nike/ use of drapery to define anatomy and movement of the figure
appearance of the female nude
she alludes to modesty in her pose
increased focus on the individual
Our word “architecture” comes from the Greek architecton, which means “master carpenter.”
Early Greek architecture therefore employed wood, not stone.
These early structures, as well as those of mud-brick, have not survived.
By the 6th Century BCE, stone replaced wood in the construction of important temples.
Temple type
• Post and lintel construction
• Based on three orders which dictate a basic plan
o Doric, Ionic and Corinthian (a variant of the Ionic order)
• Built by the Greeks after the Persians sacked Athens in 480 BCE and destroyed the existing temple and its sculpture.
• Dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena, the patron deity in whose honor Athens was named
• Made of gleaming white marble
