As artists and designers have always looked to the past for inspiration and innovation, this module will introduce the study of art and design history.  In order to learn from the past and build on others’ creativity, it is essential to practitioners’ professional development that they understand the importance of historical influences on art and design and how artists have always been early adopters of emerging visual technologies.
This module will develop knowledge and understanding of key movements within an historical context, providing a framework for their understanding of works of art and design.  It will also develop research and skills in identifying, selecting and recording appropriate references for study.  The module will also cover how to research and record information from primary and secondary contextual sources.
