Dr. Hilary Macartney, University of Glasgow. (This course is offered twice!)
"From Gothic to Gothic Revival" - The course examines the exuberant Scottish Gothic style, from its medieval origins and diffusion from the 12th through the 15th centuries, to its late 18th-and 19th-century antiquarian rediscovery. Dr. Debra Strickland, University of Glasgow.
"Mackintosh & the Glasgow Style" - This exciting class offers students the opportunity to examine first-hand the work of the Glasgow artist, architect, and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). Dr. Joanna Meacock, University of Glasgow.
The course timetables will be varied and stimulating with lectures, visits, study sessions, architectural tours and films. Teaching will be led by curators and specialists active in the research, presentation and conservation of Scotland’s artistic and cultural heritage.
