Spring School

Spring School

Organised thematically, our Spring Courses provide a solid foundation for further studies of Western Art ranging from classical antiquity to the twentieth-century.

Group sizes are limited to facilitate discussion.

Spring Courses on campus

The teaching day generally lasts from 10:00 to 16:30, with registration from 09:30 on the first day.

Courses include:

  • Classroom sessions alongside visits to museums, galleries, print rooms or other sites, and all relevant entry charges.
  • Morning and/or afternoon refreshments (where students are on campus).
  • Extensive course materials on the VLE, and reference access to the Library during course delivery and in the nearest  vacation.

Spring School Online Course: Variations on a Theme - Modernism in Art and Music

This course includes:

  • Five pre-recorded one-hour lectures, which are delivered to students three weeks before the first discussion session, and a series of live Zoom seminars (of between 60-75 minutes’ duration). Where participant numbers exceed our maximum, we are able to offer an alternative, later Zoom seminar on the same day.

 

  • Pre-course reading materials, handouts, further reading suggestions, student-to-tutor and peer-to-peer discussion forums on the VLE.
