UndergraduateCourse summary
The Art History programme combines new media technologies with more traditional disciplinary practices to equip you with the professional skills you’ll need to succeed and shape the cultural and creative industries. Within the course, ethno- and gender-centric art histories are contextualised among diverse, non-Western practices with a view to redressing historic imbalances and injustices. From Banksy to Basquiat, Kusama to Kngwarreye, you are encouraged to find your own place and voice within these fantastically complex visual worlds. The BA in Art History starts by exploring the foundations of contemporary Western culture in classical Greece and Rome, and then brings you right up to date via a survey of key art-historical periods, including the Italian and Northern Renaissances and the birth of the concept of the artist. As well as this grounding in the traditional Western art-historic canon, you will also explore non Western art histories and current challenges to the linear and historically prevailing accounts of art history. A key feature of the BA in Art History is the opportunity to study in a thriving art school environment, allowing you to access working art and design studios to study the production and materiality of objects and to take part in collaborative projects with fellow art and design students. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with, and acquire curatorial skills in Bristol’s many cultural institutions in each year of your studies. This course actively seeks individuals who want to challenge and shape the future of the discipline of art history, individuals who feel disconnected from the representations that they see in galleries and museums and who want to effect change. Part time routes are available. For more information, please email [email protected] Open Days Why not visit our one of Campuses at an Open Day. You will have the opportunity to meet tutors and Student Ambassadors.
