This course enables students to examine a range of conventions of art and design history. Fieldwork and in class debates provide real world contexts for the development of teaching strategies appropriate to pupil learning historical content in an active and authentic way. This is undertaken while developing an ability to explore and apply historical methodologies to art and design cases within the educational conditions of setting, student and curriculum. Students consider the educational significance of concepts of the historical event, the interpretation of artworks in cultural and historical contexts and the formation of spatio-temporal relationships among artworks.
