Course summary

British art making has been at the heart of a wide range of worldwide networks and dialogues, from the material culture of early medieval Britain, through the painting and sculpture of eighteenth-century and Victorian Britain, to British Modernism and Britart.

Investigate notions of national, imperial, cosmopolitan and global visual and material cultures; engage with debates about British and European cultural identity and study a variety of works from painting, sculpture, and architecture, through to graphic art, design, and craft. You can explore photography, installation, performance, and contemporary works engaging with new media, digital and other innovative technologies.
