Art and Design 1900-2012 12/13 at Victoria and Albert Museum

An art and design course, of which the first two terms will focus on the developing commercial function of design, on its ethical dimension, on its role in popular culture, and on its stylistic evolution. Architecture, jewellery, works in glass, fashion, graphic design, theatre sets, and furniture will all be considered both in the context of the V&A collections and wider examples. In the summer term, modern artefacts at the V&A will be examined and contemporary designers and design professionals will describe and discuss their practice, interpretation and presentation of design.
