A CENTURY OF DESIGN
This course explores the exciting developments in design and the decorative arts from 1900 to the present day. Lectures are supplemented by visits to museums and houses, and to galleries and dealers specializing in 20th century and contemporary design.
The course aims to provide a sound knowledge of the stylistic development of design, in the context of architecture and interiors, from c. 1900 to the present day, together with an understanding of the broader historical and cultural factors that have influenced the production and consumption of decorative art objects during this period.
Week 1 looks at Art Nouveau to Art Deco, Week 2 charts the development of Modernism in design, Week 3, traces the post-war enthusiasm for modern design and Week 4 looks at Post Modernism and Pluralism among the myriad approaches in design.
FACULTY

DATES: 12 June - 7 July
ART AND ITS MARKETS
This course looks at four different types of objects and examines how they are identified and catalogued and how quality and value is assessed. Students study how auctions are marketed, organised and run.
This programme is based around the Summer Sales at Sotheby’s Auction Houses in Bond Street and Olympia, together with one sale at the most important of the southern regional auction houses, Dreweatt Neate. A range of both major and minor sales will be selected: these provide the focus for lectures, workshops/seminars and gallery visits. Students also undertake art market field research at the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton.
FACULTY
David Bellingham
DATES: 19 June - 14 July
ART MARKETING
This short course serves as an introduction to the marketing of the visual arts and top-end luxury commodities. Issues such as branding, retaining product exclusivity as well as the fundamental
principles of supply and demand are examined.
The course aims to raise awareness and develop a practical understanding of the marketing issues faced by today’s visual arts organisations whether they are public (museums) or private (art dealers, gallery owners and auction houses). It examines how established marketing principles and practices can be adapted to the idiosyncrasies of various visual art organisations and help them meet their objectives.
Topics such as branding, customer relationship, sponsorship, segmentation, price policy etc. will be explored. Sessions will consist of lectures, guest speakers, case studies, on site visits and student presentations.

Temple University - London
The student population of TEMPLE/LONDON is small in number, 25-30 per semester. Our typical student is a junior or senior from a college in the United States with an academic background in communications and/or theater.
In a given semester, at least one quarter of our students are from colleges and universities other than Temple.
Students majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences will have no trouble taking the communications and theater courses we offer in London. In addition, we will always have several liberal arts courses available such as British Politics and Government and British Modern History as well as possible courses in British architecture and literature.
Housing Accomodations
TEMPLE/LONDON currently provides housing as long as a minimum number of students are interested. For students unable to decide if they want to reserve housing by a given date, and for students who know that they want to find their own housing, TEMPLE/LONDON provides extensive informatin and
advice about hotes, international dormitories, real estate agents, and contacts for living with a British family.
TEMPLE/LONDON's reserved housing involves apartment-style living for groups of six studetns in a "flat" with three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped, and weekly cleaning and change of linen is usually provided.

Dickinson College
University of East Anglia, Norwich, England;
The program begins with an intensive seminar in London, taught by a Dickinson College faculty member who serves as resident Director. The seminar introduces the student to London as world city, and surveys its history since Roman times. Focusing on literature, history, fine arts, architecture, drama and music, this humanities course helps the student reflect the socio-cultural context of particular periods in London's history.
The student moves to Norwich in early October and continues study of the humanities through a seminar style course which examines the evolution of culture in the English countryside and the provincial city, from Roman times to the present. In this course, the city of Norwich and the surrounding county of Norfolk provide the locus for study. Norwich, two hours by rail from London, is a characteristically regional city, dominated structurally by cathedral and castle. Students will concentrate on a particular art form, historical era, or thematic interest in their culminating project for this second humanities course.
Students live in single rooms in university dormitories. Students' meals are
taken in the residences.
Costs include all tuition and fees, round trip transportation between New
York and Norwich, transportation and entrance fees for scheduled excursions,
hotel, tube and bus fares in London and Norwich, tickets for several
independent trips between Norwich and London, room and board while classes
are in session. Not included are books, vacation travel, rooms and meals
during vacations, and incidental expenses
