Art History Courses for 2012

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!
