Persuasion and Public Speech – DRA2/3PPS
This unit will be offered as a first semester unit. It is a workshop-based unit with three aims. Firstly it provides training in public speaking and for other situations, such as debate and discussion, which call for confident, organised, informed and persuasive speech. The techniques and principles are taught and the skills of critical listening developed. Students analyse examples of public speech; live, recorded and written. Material for analysis is drawn from a variety of formats and periods and is chosen to engage with the particular interests of the group. The third aim is to introduce some theoretical reflections on persuasive speech. There is a brief outline of classical rhetoric and some attention to recent theorists of what has been called 'the new rhetoric'.
Class requirement: One 1-hour lecture and one 2-hour workshop per week.
Pre-requisties: No pre-requisites required
Art from Greece to the Renaissance – ARH1AGR
This will be offered as a first- year unit in the first semester. In this unit we will explore the major styles in European art and architecture from ancient Greece to the Renaissance. Students will study such artists as Giotto, Raphael and Michelangelo, and such buildings as the Parthenon and Chartres Cathedral. Emphasis is given to the representation, in painting and sculpture, of the human form. The unit introduces students to the methods of visual analysis and the meaning of images. Where possible, first-hand study is required of selected works available in Melbourne. Together with one or both of the other first-year art history subjects, this unit serves as an introduction to second-year offerings in the discipline.
