Arcadia Education believes in the Wagnerian concept of the gesamtkunstwerk or the all-embracing art form. Thus, in order to develop an overall command of the Gothic style or period, for example, we feel it is imperative that the main Art Historical content is complemented by a smattering of literature, music, philosophy, theology, geometry, sociology and politics and, where relevant, photography, cinema and fashion. Cross-curricular events will typically be a combination of digital slides, musical excerpts, film clips, readings and occasional audience participation!
