So many art movements! Have you ever wondered how to unravel them and feel confident about their context and style? This history of art course will help you to distinguish between the different movements from Neoclassicism to Abstract Expressionism.
Learn from our world-class experts wherever you are, whenever suits you: watch lectures live or view the recording later in your own time. You can experience the full breadth and depth of the V&A's collections with 12 hours of study over 6 weeks. Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials are available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for 6 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. And finally, join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.

Looking at paintings, photographs, woodcuts, lithographs, sculptures, and objects we will explore 200 years of art and the men and women who made it.
