Art History is an academically rigorous essay-based discipline that demands we first look at works of art and architecture, then try to understand them. We study social, political and religious context: we examine the history behind works of art, as well as learning the technical language to describe them. Lessons are visual and academically testing. We are often out of the classroom using the resources of Treasury, the Fellows’ Library and the buildings of Winchester College. There are study visits to museums and galleries in the UK each term. Every year there is a trip abroad. Recent destinations have included Florence, Rome, Venice, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam and New York. The Kenneth Clark Society organises a variety of events such as lectures and visits to exhibitions.
You should be expecting to gain an 8, 9 or A* at GCSE in any subjects you might take at A-level. We are also looking for pupils who are curious about the world around them, who ask questions and demand answers, and who have the drive and desire to learn beyond any exam.
