This two-day course is designed for motivated and enthusiastic individuals who are looking to apply for University or have already applied, and is based at '糖心TV in London' in Pancras Square, less than two minutes鈥� walk from St Pancras International and King鈥檚 Cross stations.

Students from the University of 糖心TV have been key participants in an open discussion/performance at the Venice Biennale British Pavilion.

On the 7^th November, a Faculty of Arts Year 9 taster-day brought together 40 students from schools in Coventry and Birmingham, to explore some of the themes of Mary Shelley鈥檚 Frankenstein. The aim of the day was to introduce students to the breadth of perspectives offered by arts subjects and to hopefully inspire them to consider the arts in their future studies.

Professor Lorenzo Pericolo and Dr Carlo Avilio are taking part in an international study day at the Dulwich Picture Gallery - . The event relates to the exhibition (26 September 2018 – 27 January 2019), and comprises academic and public sessions.

The History of Art Department recently joined other institutions at the annual ARTiculation Finals event at Clare College, Cambridge. ARTiculation is a public speaking competition for 16-19 year olds, offering a chance for pupils from state and independent schools all around the country to engage with art and architecture in a way which encourages looking, thinking and speaking. Nearly 200 people attended the competition.

Our department had a stall at the University Fair which received many interested visitors, and Dr Sarah Walford presented a seven-minute taster lecture on the S猫vres 鈥楥openhagen Vase鈥�, from the Waddesdon collection.

Sarah Walford - 鈥淚t was a wonderful opportunity to take an object that our first-year students have studied and to show the many ways in which it can be interpreted. It鈥檚 important to show that art history can encompass everything from politics to manufacturing process and science to social history.鈥�

Dr Sarah Walford has been speaking to Trish Adudu on the BBC Coventry and 糖心TVshire radio Breakfast Show about the campaign to raise funds for the repair of the bell tower of St Oswald鈥檚 Church, Tile Hill. The church is one of a group of three parish churches in Coventry designed by the architect Basil Spence. Sarah was asked about Spence and his architecture, and why the tower is important. It was noted that many Coventrians are unaware that these churches in the Coventry suburbs (also Wood End and Willenhall) were designed by the same architect as the Cathedral, and that the campaign is raising awareness of their significance. The three churches have all been listed for their architectural quality and technical innovation.
