Embark on a journey through two and a half thousand years of human creativity. Beginning with the art and artefacts of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, and culminating in the contemporary art market, this fast-paced introductory course will chart the progression of western art. Over six broad ranging sessions, we will study masterpieces across the scope of western art history. Exploring key movements, mediums and styles, we will discover how art mirrors societal, cultural, and philosophical change, ultimately shaping our understanding of history, beauty, and the human experience.
Please note that this course is starting one week after term starts. The last session will be on Monday 15th July.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
