Art History – An Introduction

He took a significant change in direction from Impressionism and was instrumental in changing the way artists looked at form, colour, light and line, which made a significant impact on nearly every radical phase of 20th century art. This includes movements such as, Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, Vorticism, Constructivism, Suprematism, through to Abstract Expressionism and beyond.

We will be taking a look at the work of other various artists such as Marinetti, Boccioni, Kirchner, Nolde, Kandinsky, Pollock, de Kooning and Rothko, with a view to taking our future studies at the Arts University into these and other 20thCentury movements and artists.

Students will question, analyse and debate many fascinating artworks in a relaxed and enjoyable setting, making full use of the Art University Bournemouth’s extensive library for our research.

This course will form a basis, not only for your own research and pleasure, but also into future Art History courses when we will delve further into the wonderful world of art, which reflects and documents so much of our history and life
