History of Art

Entry Requirements

The subject is available to all Sixth Formers and compliments a range of other A level choices. Some History of Art students also take Mathematics and Economics, others pair this with Fine Art or performance subjects, while a number are Humanities-oriented. There is no typical or recommended subject combination that includes the History of Art; it is a multi-disciplinary subject which gives students the tools to analyse and understand how and why works of art and design are created. It builds on existing enthusiasms, or simply on a new-found curiosity to know more about art and architecture produced across the ages within different cultural traditions.
