History of Art

Join us on location at some of Londons greatest galleries for a journey through time. We will introduce you to the themes throughout history that have shaped our current art world. We will visit significant stages, ideas and movements that have inspired artists, for example, the Renaissance, Romanticism and Impressionism. We'll also consider how art is perceived today. Above all, and most importantly, it will be a chance to enjoy original art up close.

Course Outcomes
You will leave the course with extensive knowledge of the London art world, enriching your experiences of the capital's galleries. You'll be aware of the research, education and archive facilities available in London.
