Support material from lectures will be available on Brightspace and students are encouraged to keep a journal detailing the content of the lectures and related tasks and research.

Academic Year 2022/2023
Art and the Modern World, 1848 to 1914 examines the key developments in Western art from 1848 to the outbreak of World War One in 1914. This period saw the beginnings of modern art, when traditional practices of making and viewing art were challenged. Industrialisation brought rapid social changes that impacted dramatically on how the world was experienced and understood. The module concentrates on Paris, the centre of the modern art world, which saw the development of realism, impressionism, post-impressionism and cubism. Lectures also consider the impact of modernity and urbanisation on British and European art. The influence of photography, non-western art, and imperialism and colonialism are addressed. Lectures are supported by small-group tutorials.
