Course Description

Art is central to the human experience – it shapes our perception of the world and reflects our histories and lived experiences. But the idea of art and its value has changed over time according to social, political and technological influences. Studying art history allows us to see the past in a new light. Throughout history, art has been filled with passion, excitement, anger, joy, politics and religion.

Introduction to Art and Art History can be studied as a stand-alone course and is a key course for the Certificate of Higher Education in Art and Design at Aberystwyth University.
