What is Art? Who decides? Why do we make it? What stories can it tell us about who we were and who we are, where we come from, what we believe in and what we value?
This course explores these questions and the impact that visual imagery on people and societies. Students will explore the themes and techniques used in Art and the historical contexts in which it was made. It involves learning how to "read" art works through formal analysis and exploring symbolism and meaning.
This course is valuable as an Art-based academic programme and as a very interesting body of material where learning is supported with a lot of images.
