  • Art History – History of Western Architecture (From the Classical Era to the Present Day)

    Course Code: OC2301AH01 Tutor: Daniel Greaney Course Dates: Mondays, 2nd October to 30th October Days: 5 Times: 6.30pm - 8pm Experience Level: All Levels Fee: £110 Location: Online £110.00

    Explore how the fundamentals of architecture have influenced the design and function of iconic buildings, from domestic to secular and religious. Trace the development of the Classical style, beginning with the Parthenon in Athens to the Colosseum in Rome. Examine the elaborate decoration of the Gothic era and the Baroque splendour of French châteaux. Consider how European and American Modernist architects, including Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, re-evaluated the function and appearance of their designs to suit a more modern way of living and working. Finally, see how contemporary architects use new materials and production methods in response to present day concerns including the environment or respond to the demands of very specific commissions.

  • Art History – Materials in the History of Sculpture (From Marble to Video and Installation)

    Course Code: OC2301AH02 Tutor: Daniel Greaney Course Dates: Mondays, 6th November - 4th December 2023 Days: 5 Times: 6.30pm - 8pm Experience Level: All Levels Fee: £110 Location: Online £110.00

    Investigate the working processes of sculptors from pivotal moments in art history as they honed their skills across a variety of media. Beginning with marble sculptures from Ancient Greece, we will journey to Renaissance Germany and examine the tradition for lime wood carving. 19th Century French artists including Edgar Degas and Auguste Rodin challenged conventions with their use of wax, plaster and bronze to present the human figure in radical new ways. In the Modern era, use of the ‘found-object’ became commonplace, a concept which continued to the 1990s with the Young British Artists (YBAS). Contemporary practitioners have used performance, video and installation to address a variety of themes, but some are also reliant on those traditional methods of production which have been standard practice for millennia.
