History of Art A level
Who should choose History of Art?
If you have a wide range of academic interests, then you will enjoy this subject. History of Art is incredibly cross-curricular, drawing connections between art and architecture, politics, history, philosophy, literature, religion and science. It teaches you visual literacy – an important skill in our increasingly visual world – and you will gain a life-long understanding and enjoyment of the art and architecture that surrounds you. In addition, you will develop visual, verbal, critical and analytical skills that can be applied to many walks of life, and gain the tools to understand how images and objects shape our social and political identities. No previous knowledge of Art History is required and you do not need to have studied Art or History at GCSE.
