Pre-Raphaelite Art and Design
|
A five-day summer school looking at six significant and varied art collections We regret that registrations are no longer being taken for this summer school. The aims of this course are to study, and above all, experience the paintings, design and architecture of the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts Movement through slide lectures, gallery, museum and architectural visits, where informal group discussion and questioning can take place. The course will examine not just the aesthetic aspects of the movement, but also the context of the social, economic, religious and political climate of the time. The course will include two day trips. One to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and Wightwick Manor (Wolverhampton), and the other to Oxford, visiting Christ Church, Exeter College, Keble College, the Ashmolean Museum and University Museum. It will consist of three days preparatory lectures in the University and two days visiting the collections. Transport will be provided.
