History of Art 2

History of Art 2 is a two-semester course (HA2A and HA2B) that consists of 2 lectures and 1 seminar per week. Semester 1 examines aspects of the visual arts from c.1700 to the 21st century. Semester 2 examines the visual arts from c.300 to c.1300.

Visiting students who are here for only one semester are permitted to take either semester as an independent course. All other students must take both semesters of this course. Entrants will normally be expected to have a pass in History of Art 1 or the equivalent.

For further information about the second year of study, including details of assessment and weekly lecture information about the History of Art 2 course, please refer to the History of Art year 2 handbook.
