Stories Told Through Art: An Anthropological Perspective — Spring 2027 (HU1006)

Explore how visual art tells stories across cultures and how anthropology helps interpret their social meanings.

Discussion and cross-cultural examples examine narrative, imagery and the values communicated through art. Learners compare traditions across time and place, consider how they change and practise evaluating examples through an anthropological perspective. No prior expertise is required, and there is no formal assessment. Bring paper and a pen and read the supplied material. 9-week course; Friday classes advertised 13:00–15:00. The full intake runs 2027-01-22 to 2027-03-19; contact the centre for the individual class calendar.
