Study the most important periods in the history of European art whilst exploring the arts of other cultures, including Ancient Egypt, India, Asia, Africa and the Americas. You will engage with artworks from pre-history right through to the present, and with a wide variety of art forms including painting, sculpture, photography and video art, architecture, and installation and performance art.
In your first year you will gain firm foundations for the study of works of art from a variety of traditions. In your second and third years, you will select from a range of optional modules focused on particular periods and addressing specific topics. These currently include the relationship between modern art and gender, the rich culture of the Renaissance, the fascinating world of medieval life, death and ritual, and the spectacular discoveries of ancient Egypt. All this results in a History of Art degree with incredible breadth and depth. As well as expanding and deepening your knowledge and understanding of art, you will cultivate key intellectual and professional skills including the visual analysis of images, critical thinking, and confident communication. |
