What the college says

Edexcel Pearson Art History A Level teaches about the significance of artworks from specific periods of history; from Ancient Greece to the present day. Pupils develop ideas and opinions about historical issues and how to use specialist vocabulary to communicate knowledge and understanding about architecture, sculpture, painting, photography and design. Pupils gain an understanding of the principal methods of research, how artworks have been interpreted in the past and how this has often been affected by the context in which the work was made. It is a subject that often uses ideas from literature, history and philosophy, combining these ideas in a discipline that requires pupils to think. As well as a subject in its own right it is often combined with Languages, History, English Literature and Music, though it can also be combined with Psychology and other Sciences. History of Art is useful if considering studying Archaeology and/or Anthropology.
