This movement looked to decorative traditions across the world, to surfaces like textiles, and to wallpaper, manuscript illuminations, mosaics, glassware, embroideries, and architectural flourishes. The course will also look at both historical and contemporary artists who use pattern and decoration as a source of inspiration in their work. Students can choose to work in acrylic or oils.
