CLIL-BASED SEMINAR 1

Students focus on the relationship of a range of different art forms to society, politics, culture and history. We also consider how the arts reflect and contribute to our immediate physical, social and political environments with a special emphasis on environmentalism and human rights. Supported by reference to Post War movements in art and culture, and through research workshops, students study concepts relating to relevant creative expression and use this knowledge to present projects about art & context during the semester with a special emphasis on artists tackling global issues.
