History of Art

Course summary

History of Art is studied at A Level at Stowe, which makes for the ultimate backdrop to a comprehensive engagement with the subject. Understandably, few pupils will have much prior knowledge of the subject and none is expected. Provided you are committed to hard work, this new visual language offers a fresh understanding of beauty in all its artistic manifestations: from works considered in the classroom to those viewed in a museum context, to those we will encounter abroad.
