Summary
This course will appeal to anyone fascinated by designed objects and the ways they shape our lives and express who we are. From rococo to mid-century modern, arts and crafts to post-modernism, this course looks at design and decorative arts from the past 300 years.
We’ll touch on architecture and art, explore major design movements and
exhibitions and the influences which have helped shape fashion and interior
design. You’ll discover how cultural, social, economic and technological changes
have influenced design and you’ll find out more about the main design movements
and figures but also the impact of popular culture and the role of women in
design.
How will I learn?
You will gain knowledge about design and decorative arts from the 1800s up to
the present day, with a particular emphasis on the 20th century. The course is
delivered in a chronological timeframe so that students can appreciate how the
visual arts have evolved over time.
There is no formal qualification with
this course. You can participate at whatever level you feel comfortable with. Be
prepared to take notes if you wish. A reading list is provided each
week.
The course will be delivered through weekly online lectures. This is a very visual course, so expect lots of images. You will also have the opportunity to get involved with a Q&A session each week.
