It is an exciting and stimulating course that teaches you to use your eyes, to ask questions, and to have confidence in your critical judgements.
In Years 2 and 3 you will build on that knowledge with a series of historically and thematically specific classes, allowing you to consider material in more detail and to perfect your skills in visual literacy.
