Art History
Have you ever looked at an image or object and wondered why it provokes a memory or activates your imagination? Are you curious about how works of art, from paintings in museums and galleries to public monuments and street art, reflect the individuals, communities and societies that made them?
Then you will enjoy the study of art history. It will allow you to explore images, objects and ideas in many art forms and to understand art production, representation, reception and consumption. It is a dynamic field of study that will give you insights into cultures past and present.
