Course summary

History of Art is one of the most interdisciplinary subjects you can take: studying it would complement English Literature, English Language, History, Philosophy and Theology, Modern Languages, Art, and Theatre Studies. It also touches on contemporary scientific theories and the technological advances, which informed art, as well as political theory, such as Marxism and feminism, and aspects of psychology and Freudian psychoanalysis. In-depth study of approximately sixty works is complemented by considering critical texts, which challenge or support the validity of the works. Furthermore, the new syllabus encourages pupils to consider art works and architecture from outside the Western tradition.
