About Art & Design History, BA - at Liverpool Hope University

Hear from one of our students about studying Art and Design History at Liverpool Hope. The curriculum will address key developments in art and design history from Antiquity to the present day, with a strong focus on early modern, modern and contemporary art. Through an exploration of art and design movements, styles and practices, as well as methodologies and theoretical frameworks, you will develop a historical awareness of the visual arts and an understanding of Art and Design History as a discipline. Art & Design History is an exciting discipline which encompasses the study of visual artefacts, museum and gallery practice and the production and circulation of meaning around art and design.

Theoretical lectures and seminars provide a wider framework from which to evaluate and analyse the history and theory of Art & Design, as well as the discourses informing contemporary art practice. Historical and critical study runs throughout the discipline with the aim of encouraging debate, understanding, intellectual confidence and analytical expression in the history, philosophy and criticism. Your tutors' specialisms range from the medieval to the contemporary period and you will also engage with the field of museum studies and curatorial practices. The curriculum will also make full use of the wealth of relevant sites in Liverpool, as well as Liverpool Hope's partnerships, for example with Tate Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool and Liverpool Biennial.
