I LOVE Art History it is an underestimated subject. In our modern society images have become more and more prevalent and I believe everyone should be visually literate as I genuinely believe it will enrich their lives. I am an animal and art loving Brummie (from Birmingham, England) who now lives on a crop farm with my partner, two children and growing menagerie in Canterbury. A Review from 2024 student "I also really enjoyed doing Art History, so thank you, I could understand things the way you explained them much easier and faster than I can compared with other teachers, so I wanted to say thank you :) (even though I was a bit slow when it came to the exams, sorry). I am happy that I took this subject this year, it was interesting and fun to learn so much from the artworks and the time periods and learning things that I never knew before, I learnt so much. I can definitely say this subject has been my favourite this year. Thank you, Edsylia"
