Overview
Key facts
You'll discuss art historical theory, complete practical exercises and visit museum collections.
Artworks will be pitted against one another to provoke lively debate and better understand why one work or artist might be perceived as 'better' or more 'valuable' than another.
Classes are held on Monday afternoons, from 2:30pm to 5pm.
University College London (UCL) offers the The Art of Looking - From Gallery to Studio (Afternoon Course) programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- This course will be based in both the Slade studio and various museums, such as The National Gallery, Wallace Collection and Tate Britain.
- You'll learn about the process of looking and be asked to separate the 'depicted' subject matter from the 'artist's' subject matter to better understand the success or failure of a work.
- Practical exercises will help you identify formal values inherent in art that can discreetly ensure an artwork's quality.
- You'll explore and explain your findings through group discussions and individual presentations.
