What are the qualities of a great leader? How do artworks communicate inspiring stories of faith, courage and integrity?

  • Analyse and interpret ideas, meanings and messages communicated in artworks from different times, cultures and contexts.
  • Evaluate the contemporary relevance of meanings and messages expressed in historical works of art.
