Drawing on Tate and The Open University's complementary resources, these online study days explore key themes in twentieth century art history.
The study days often relate closely to major exhibitions at Tate Modern or to key aspects of the curriculums taught at The Open University. Each study day is broken into a series of short presentations, which are supported with summary information and suggested further reading. The content will have most value for those with some existing knowledge in histories and theories of modern art.
The study days take place at Tate Modern approximately twice a year. There is a fee for attending the live events, but all online materials are free.
