From cave paintings to contemporary art, this speed-date with a complex discipline will consider the history of art and its missing narratives. The course will also try to answer the age-old question about an artwork: 'What does it mean?' 

Week 1: Thinking globally, looking locally 

Week 2: Why is it called The Canon? 

Week 3: How we discuss race, class, and gender - and how we don't 

Week 4: Modernism and Contemporary Art 

Week 5: Your Art History

"[The instructor] has a wealth of knowledge in art history and presented it in a way that was engaging and thought-provoking."
