Congratulations to Art History Professor Una D’Elia for winning the 2020 Principal’s Promoting Student Inquiry Teaching Award. This university-wide award recognizes innovative instructional design which enables active student engagement in learning. Professor D’Elia was awarded this distinction for her inspiring fall 2019 seminar, ARTH 485 A Social and Material History of Italian Renaissance Sculpture/ARTH 840 Studies in Italian Renaissance Art: A Material History of Italian Renaissance Sculpture.
We are pleased to announce that our current graduate student, Nuard Tadevosyan (MA, Art History), won the 2020 Mavis Batey Essay Prize offered through the Gardens Trust (UK). The annual prize is awarded to any student (or recent graduate), worldwide, registered at an institution of higher education. Tadevosyan’s essay, “Della Robbia Green: From Sublime to Sinister" looked at the use of the colour green in Della Robbia’s ceramics workshop in Renaissance Florence, drawing links to the representation of natural imagery and the symbolism of colour.
