How have aesthetic tastes changed through the ages? Who or what determines what ‘art’ is and is not? How do we see ourselves, our world and our place in it? What materials have we developed to express ourselves? Why do humans, across geographies and time, make ‘art’ and who do we do it for? If these questions inspire and challenge you, and the prospect of learning to read the past and understand the present through our vast global visual history while engaging with key critical debates excites you, look no further than History of Art A Level. History of Art not only develops your visual literacy but as a Humanities subject will refine your skills in crafting persuasive analytical arguments, synthesising knowledge from different sources, researching independently and debating effectively.
Candidates are expected to achieve Grade 7 or above in subjects they wish to take at A Level, or, for subjects not previously studied, a 7 in facilitating subjects. A list of these can be found here. All candidates will take two written general papers, one Maths related and one essay writing based, a computer based thinking skills assessment and have an academic interview, with subject specific staff.
