- The Art Appreciation course is delivered online, consisting of 12 comprehensive modules and 12 corresponding assignments. The course is designed to be self-paced. Normally you would expect to be dedicating on average about 4-6 hours per week for 24 weeks. However, many students take up to one year to complete their studies because of family or work commitments. Students have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific areas of interest in art by purchasing Advanced Modules. These are similar to short courses and are specially formulated materials to challenge motivated students to achieve more.

Thank you for sharing, Sarah 😊
We’re so glad you’re enjoying the assignments and finding your tutor’s feedback helpful. Amazing to hear how much you’ve learned in just six months—keep it up! ✨
I highly recommend this course
I had always wanted to broaden and deepen my knowledge of art history. After extensive research, I chose this course based on its content description, length, and flexibility. I also appreciated that, to progress, assignments had to be completed.
As I worked through the course, I became increasingly convinced that I had made the right choice. There were some very good modules and some excellent ones, but overall, the structure was perfect for me, exactly as I had hoped.
What surprised me was how much it would stimulate my interest in art. I now visit museums and exhibitions with a completely new perspective and renewed enthusiasm.
I also had a very positive experience with my tutor, Libby. I particularly appreciated having the same tutor throughout the course. She provided insightful, constructive, and highly relevant feedback.

Excellent Course
I have enjoyed the academic rigor of the course and the coursework. The readings are interesting in their own right, and the assignments give depth and understanding to the concepts and eras being discussed. The feedback from my tutor has been invaluable, pushing me further and helping me understand the topic. I appreciate all the additional resources that are listed in each module.
What would have made this better would have been videos or links to videos to support the material being studied.

An inspirational course
Since beginning the Art Appreciation course, it has been a fascinating journey through the artistic movements and styles defining our cultural heritage. While exploring the art, it is set in its unique historical milieu. The material is excellent and the tutors comments always encouraging and insightful.
The assignments match the periods precisely and help draw out the knowledge acquired.

I started The Art Appreciation course last September
and I am really enjoying it. I feel I am learning so much
and I really appreciate the feedback my Professor is giving me after each submission. After each Module
I am excited to see the content of the next one. I had wanted to do such a course for years and never had the time and it is fulfilling more than I expected.

Happy to be back after a long absence
After a hiatus of about 9 years due to a change in circumstances (we relocated to the UK!), I decided to resume my studies.
I've just submitted my 5th assignment.
I contacted the South African branch, who arranged an extension for me.
In the years after I abandoned my studies the course was redesigned, with an advanced module added to my original course.
I am really glad I resumed my studies. The content is interesting, compelling and enriching. What I am learning is helping me get more out of visits to galleries and art museums. I'm so fortunate that there are plenty within easy reach of my home in the London commuter belt.
Though the material is good, I'm using additional resources to supplement it. I find the assignments challenging (in a good way) and enjoy applying my mind to the task of compressing a lot of information into an accurate 250-word response.
I'm delighted with how quickly my tutor marks my assignments and provides valuable feedback. I can easily reach him via the message function and get prompt responses.

Hi Cecilia,
Welcome back – and wow, after nine years! That’s such a brilliant achievement. Relocating to the UK and then picking your studies back up again takes real determination, so we’re genuinely impressed.
We’re so pleased our team could help arrange your extension and make the transition back into the course smooth for you. It’s also lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the updated modules and finding the content enriching. There’s something really special about studying art while having incredible galleries and museums right on your doorstep in the London commuter belt – it must make everything feel even more alive and relevant.
We love that you’re challenging yourself with the 250-word assignments and digging into additional resources. That kind of engagement is exactly what helps the learning stick and deepen.
And of course, we’re thrilled to hear your tutor’s feedback has been prompt and valuable. That ongoing dialogue and support can make all the difference.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us – we’re so glad you’re back and thriving!

It’s a lot more work than I anticipated, but I’m learning a lot…..
It’s a lot more work than I anticipated but, for the most part, I’m begrudgingly enjoying the course, forming opinions on the art and learning. Module 8 was a grind and caused me to take a very long break from the course. I found the course material almost unreadable- too academic, too elitist, too judgemental. So annoying because I love the art of that period! That said, Module 8 is the only one I feel that way about.

Thank you, Richard. This is really helpful feedback (and we appreciate the honesty!).
It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the course overall, even if it’s more work than you expected, and that you’re building confidence in your own judgement about Art.
We’re sorry Module 8 knocked the wind out of you. That module covers a lot of complex ideas, but it shouldn’t feel elitist or get in the way of the Art. We’re going to share your comments with the team and take a proper look at the tone and readability of that section.
Thanks again for sticking with it. If you need any assistance from your tutor, they’re only a message away.
Brilliant. Highly recommend

The course after 10 modules
Have now completed 10 of the modules. Have loved the course especially the later modules which is where my interest in art lies but have really enjoyed the opportunity to study earlier periods of which I knew relatively little about having always passed on them in a gallery or museum. Having the assignments really ensures that you think about the subject really carefully. They seem daunting at first but you soon get the hang of how to do them. My tutor marked the assignments promptly and gave constructive & supportive feedback. Don’t really want it to end

Wishing you all the best as you continue — even if we know it’s hard when a course you love comes to an end!
I'm enjoying this course so much
I am so enjoying this course. I haven't studied for years and I'm finding it so interesting and rewarding.

I really like the program structure
I really like the program structure, working through centuries. My tutor, Libby Anson provides quick constructive feedback.
The only 'Con' is that one of the early module's notes - module 2 I think - contain some grammatical and other errors that have escaped a review before publishing.
