Welcome to art history!
During your AS year you will be studying two units AT THE SAME TIME, with both of your teachers. The majority of your course will be looking at HART 2, or Themes in History of Art, but within that, you will learn the skills, vocabulary and technique to do your Visual Analysis and Interpretation unit.Slide2

Three men, two of them looking like they are from the East?
