What the college says

History of Art is an excellent option for any student who is interested in visual culture and the world around them. It stands as a marvellous complement to practical visual arts subjects but would be of equal interest to English, History, Media, and Sociology or Politics students as it borrows approaches from all these disciplines. It is analytical in nature and is assessed by means of two written examination papers. Lessons are focused on images and always involve discussion of themes or key works. You will be encouraged to undertake individual research via reference works, films, television programmes or some of the huge range of podcasts and resources available via the internet. Moreover, we will have many opportunities for visits to public galleries, museums and installations.
