Summer University - Discover Art History
Join us for Summer University in-person to take your first steps into the discipline of art history. From paintings and graffiti, to statues and architecture, visual culture is all around us. Art history gives us the skills to engage critically with our visual surroundings. Over the three days of Summer University, you will join us at Somerset House where we will explore The Courtauld collection, artworks local to the area, and the architecture of the surrounding buildings. You will develop your skills in visual analysis, critical thinking, and knowledge of the foundations of art history. The programme will provide you with an insight into what it is like to be an undergraduate student at The Courtauld studying History of Art.
