Art History
Art History is a high-interest subject which studies different cultures and periods by examining the art and architecture, the artists responsible and the society of the time. It is a useful subject to gain a deeper understanding of history, society and culture and helpful to boys intending careers in architecture, art and design, tourism or museum studies.
Art History can be studied at Levels 2 and 3 and at many New Zealand and overseas universities. Even if the subject is not studied beyond school level, it can provide the foundation for a lifelong interest.
Art History teaches visual analysis, research skills, historical knowledge, interpretation, information analysis, writing skills and critical thinking. Visual literacy is a key to many areas of study today.
