What is Art History?

Ākonga who have an interest in art can learn how and why it has been produced. This involves the observation, analysis and interpretation of works of art within their cultural and historical contexts. Ākonga develop the analytical, critical and research skills needed to gain a greater understanding of artistic ideas and concepts. This subject does not require any practical skills in art.

What this course involves

Towards modernism (nineteenth century French art) and art in Aotearoa are used as starting points for ākonga to develop the art historical skills of observation, analysis and understanding of content and context.
