Fact Versus Feeling: What is History of Art?

For the sixth episode of the ‘Cheltenham Ladies’ College Podcast’, we’re joined by Dr Lee Beard, Head of History of Art, and students Tiggy and Tara (both SFC1) to explore the value and importance of History of Art. They’ll be sharing their love and passion for the subject, whilst discussing to what extent art is factual and reflecting on feelings and perspective. They explore how art of any form has the power to challenge conventions. One of the key messages that is discussed throughout the episode is recognising the power of art and how it can trigger emotional responses.

Podcast hosted by Lucy Bevan, Digital Communications Officer.
