L3 Art History
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms H. Kim.
Art History is a subject which allows you to understand the essence of society’s ideas and priorities through unravelling how this is mirrored in the lives and artworks of artists.
The topic of study is “Modernism to Post-Modernism”. This period takes place in the second half of the 20th Century, a time of significant change within the wider world and mirrored within art. Art movements from Realism to Feminism and artist from within both the United States and Aotearoa, New Zealand are studied to unravel artists’ reinvention and interpretation of their world in this modern and uncertain age.
Study in Art History is complementary to other subjects such as History and Classics and does not need to be taken in conjunction with Practical Art. It is however a valuable subject for Visual Art students and is especially beneficial to those students interested in studying Art, Design or Architecture at a Tertiary level.
Students choosing this course must show an ability to respond to teacher led research and written tasks in the classroom and the ability to work independently. This course requires strong analytical and literacy skills.
