The tutorial module serves as a small-class adjunct to the lecture modules, and it is intended that the tutorials augment the material covered in lectures. Through class discussion, directed to reinforce and expand upon lecture topics, this module is intended to facilitate a deeper understanding of Western art from the late Middle Ages to the High Renaissance. At least one tutorial will be conducted in the National Gallery of Ireland.
