Professor Richard Hickman

Richard Hickman was Dean of Homerton College where he was also Director of Studies for Art History (previously Director of Studies for Education at St John's College). He taught in a number of schools over a thirteen year period and has been involved in the education and training of teachers since 1985 - previously at the University of Reading and the National Institute of Education in Singapore.

He is a practising artist, having exhibited in Europe, Asia and Australasia, with eight large solo exhibitions and is (from 2019) Homerton's artist in residence.

His academic interests lie within two broad areas of visual and aesthetic education: philosophical - the nature and purpose of art and design in education, and  psychological - in particular, aesthetic development.

Richard has created a document illustrating his Journey through art education.
