From the Benenden School
Studying History of Art will take you on an exciting journey of time travel from the Greeks to the Modernists, stopping off in certain centuries and periods to understand how art and architecture reflected the social, political and economic environment of its time. Cultural signposts in art history are created by famous artists and architects and these individual works are studied in detail with scope for the student to select their own personal favourites. Ultimately, it is a captivating study of diverse styles that maintains a balance of research between the classical and modern world and each student will learn how to 'read' and interpret art and architecture. Steve joined Benenden in 1996 and has served as the Norris Housemaster. His area of expertise is the art and architecture of the Renaissance and the nineteenth century.
