“The unique opportunity to learn about objects close-up enhances students’ critical and visual skills, while immersion in the art world offers them an insight into a booming 21st century industry.” —Jonathan Woolfson Admissions to Semester Study Semester Study programmes admit students in both the September and January terms. Semester Study does not require previous university qualifications and is designed for students with a wide range of educational and professional backgrounds. All Applicants must apply online at sothebysinstitute.com. Suitability for admission is then assessed through an interview, which is conducted either in person, by telephone, or Skype. Fees for semester courses include tuition, seminars, one-to-one tutorials, as well as travel and lodging for study visits. Semester courses at the London campus are validated as Continuing Professional Development by the University of Manchester. Part-time options for studying are available. Sample courseS Art and Business Through lectures and visits to specialist museums and collections, students are introduced to the history of art and design and the ways in which art is made, sold and collected. Students learn how the international art market operates and examine the history, management and legal ramifications of both public and private art organizations. Other areas of exploration include established and emerging markets and the analysis of art market data. Arts of Asia and their Markets This course explores artistic products of the leading religions and philosophies of Asia, with a focus on sculptural and architectural work. It also provides associated contextual learning, investigating themes such as court life of the Indian and Persian sultanates and the Mughals; civil and military East Asian court life; and the European opening-up of trade with China and Japan from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. The course concludes with a review of contemporary art and its markets in India, Iran, Southeast Asia, China and Japan. Foundations of Western Art In this course students explore the history and development of art in the western world from ancient Greek beginnings to the present day, giving considerable attention to the broader social, political and cultural contexts of artistic achievement. Students acquire a sound understanding of key stylistic developments, methods, materials and techniques, and investigate the worlds of artistic production, patronage and consumption in successive centuries. Decorative Art and Design This course is an examination of the historical and stylistic development of Western European decorative arts, design and interiors from the early seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth. It is suited for
those who wish to gain a working knowledge of the decorative arts and twentieth century design, and for students interested in interior design. The subjects are studied in relation to architecture and interiors as well as in their wider social and historical contexts. Object handling and visits to auction previews, workshops and studios are important aspects of the teaching curriculum. A study trip to Paris typically complements the course’s regular museum and gallery excursions.. Jonathan Woolfson, Director, Semester and Summer Programmes, London 49
