Leah Clark

Leah Clark is a lecturer in Art History in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. She is chair of the MA in Art History as well as Project Lead on Open Arts Objects, an innovative project that provides free open access films and teaching support materials geared to the new A-level in Art History. Leah specialises in Italian Renaissance art, with a focus on the collection and exchange of art objects in the Italian courts in the fifteenth century. Her interest in Art History originally came about in a rather unconventional way: her parents ran a sail training organisation and she grew up sailing around the world, which required her to do some of her schooling through distance learning. She was introduced to a broad range of ‘art’ in different countries and she became fascinated with the variety of visual materials that she was exposed to. Working at The Open University combines her interest in Art History with her own hands-on experience as a distance learner.
