History of Art

To prepare for your History of Art application, you must demonstrate your motivation for the subject and specific interests. You can do this by reading beyond your school curriculum. Our interviewers recommend:

• 'Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction’ by Geraldine A. Johnson
• ‘History of Modern Art’ by H. H. Arnason and Peter Kalb
• 'Women, Art, and Society’ by Whitney Chadwick

Practice interviews for History of Art applications are critical. You wouldn’t sit an exam without doing a mock, so don’t place yourself in an interview without having experienced a practice interview first.
