This course allows you to explore the ways in which art has been produced and received by different communities across time and in different places. You'll study alongside theorists and practising artists.
You’ll learn about the history of art and to think critically about its development and effects, examining the social history of art in a challenging and thought-provoking way. You’ll also consider some of the theories and approaches, from aesthetics to anthropology, that can help us to interpret works of art. We do not take for granted that ‘art’ has been understood in the same way around the world through time.
You’ll choose from a range of optional modules to focus on topics that suit your own interests. These include studies of ancient Greek art, African sculpture, Japanese photography and Hollywood film, as well as contemporary art practice and heritage studies.
The University has a variety of resources to support your learning and research, including several galleries and archives.
