BA in Art History & Visual Culture

Program Available at Streatham (Exeter) Campus

We live in a world dominated by visual imagery. Today, more photos are taken every minute than ever existed in total around 150 years ago. This rapidly changing environment is what makes a degree in Art History & Visual Culture so exciting. Since its inception, humanity has documented its history through art and combining these two disciplines enables us to understand not only past societies but the contemporary culture of today.

The BA Art History & Visual Culture at Exeter teaches you to navigate history to learn about changes in society, culture, politics, religion and apply them to current theories and practices. In this course, you learn how to interpret works of art, architecture, design, images, objects, and practices to uncover the role and significance of visual culture movements that changed the world. Explore revolutionary France, Victorian visions, New York’s Avant-garde and iconic representations of the face throughout history up to the present day. Building on a solid foundation of traditional fine art, this course forms an innovative dialogue between an established field of study and one that is still in formation.
