Course Description

Explore the world of art history delving into a fascinating timeline of art movements and their impact on the industry. You’ll study key moments in the chronology of art history, from a broad and global perspective, and examine their significance. We’ll guide you to become a well-rounded art historian who is confidently able to understand, consider and challenge historical perspectives when studying material and creating your own work.

By immersing yourself in a range of art techniques and practices, you’ll experiment with your own creativity and discover your personal style. You’ll be given a dedicated studio space to work from, allowing you lots of opportunity to embrace a multitude of materials and methods.

You’ll investigate the interconnections between art and the larger social dynamics that shape our culture, such as ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, being human and our relationship to nature and the environment. You’ll become equipped to act in the world as artists and creative global citizens, innovators in your respective fields of making. We’ll prepare you to be a socially conscious graduate with an array of relevant and transferrable skills.

You’ll have opportunities to contribute to the creative community, to build networks in the city and to exhibit your work regularly. Through a range of professional development programmes, such as our weekly visiting art talks and surfacing skills workshops, you’ll discover what kind of practitioner you want to be.
