History of Art taster course at The Courtauld Institute of Art

Art does not speak for itself, and art historians adopt diverse methods in their attempts to answer the many questions that it provokes. In this one-day course, staff from the Institute will provide lectures and tours illustrating their own approaches to a variety of European works from antiquity to the present day. Students will have a chance for group discussions in the presence of famous paintings in the Courtauld Gallery and there will be an opportunity to experience undergraduate-style teaching. The course is for anyone who wishes to sample the learning of art history at this level, and especially for those who are thinking of applying for a BA course in the history of art at the Courtauld or elsewhere. The course is open to all.
