The study of Art History opens your eyes to the world around
you: you look at this world with more insight once you know how to
look and how to evaluate what you see whether this be a landscape,
an Italian palazzo, a person's face, the curve of a finger or,
indeed, the curve of a building.
Studying the history, the theory, and philosophy of art and
architecture will give you an understanding of past values and
ethics and could even help you realise your dreams in interior
decoration and garden design.
The lectures are informative, they are interesting, and they are
great fun!
