This subject allows students to develop their knowledge of Western art and architecture from the Classical period through to the contemporary. Lessons are based around the discussion of digitally projected images and frequent trips to museums in London and abroad are planned each year to further enrich the student’s understanding of art in context. History of Art is a popular course at the Harrodian, and students frequently go on to study the subject at the University. The discipline inherent in the study of this subject equips candidates with analytical skills and the ability to research and structure knowledge in written form. It provides a basis for understanding cultural history and art’s ability to reflect upon (as well as engage with) the society of its origin. Hence History of Art students embark on a variety of career paths including curatorial and gallery work, art journalism, academic research, art conservation, architecture, art teaching or lecturing, heritage advocacy, art appraisal, and even intellectual property law.
Candidates will need a minimum of six Grade 6s or above at GCSE and will preferably have Grade 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study at A Level. Students wishing to study Mathematics will require a Grade 8 or 9. For Biology or English Grade 7 will be required. We will also require a minimum of Grade 5 in both English and Mathematics. Where a subject is new at A Level, students will be required to achieve Grade 7 or Grade 6 in related subjects, reflecting the skills required for success in these courses.
