Course Description

The Masters in Arts of China aims to stimulate your critical awareness, engendering a creative and informed understanding of art-world practice.

You will receive training relevant to the public and commercial art worlds: practical and research based study of materials and techniques, scientific analysis, style, dating, quality and authenticity. You will study cataloguing to auction house and museum standards, including handling sessions, warehouse and museum visits; and take a professional cataloguing exam.
