This module comprises an interdisciplinary investigation into the images, spaces, artifacts and ideas of schooling. It focuses on the artistic treatment of 'learning' and the development of school architecture. Among the media considered are painting, installation, photography, graphic art, furniture, design and film. Consideration is given to the interpretation of key works by such artists/architects as Wren, Mackintosh, the Smithsons, Holbein, Brueghel, Steen, Moholy-Nagy, Vigo, Rivera, Kantor and Hirst. The module aims to enhance students' conceptualization of 'school', their engagement with contemporary debates concerning the nature of education and their critical awareness of schooling's socio-political and cultural issues.
