About Nicholas

I'm an art historian and artist with a PhD in the History of Art from the University of York, an MA (RCA) in History of Design from the Royal College of Art, and a BA in Fine Art.

I have taught art and design history for around thirty years in universities, art schools and museums: at the University of York, the University of Kent and the Kent Institute of Art and Design, and on gallery education programmes at the V&A, the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Britain and Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery. I have consulted for Arts Council England and the Design Council, and I continue to research, write, curate and exhibit.

I work with three kinds of student:

University students, at home and abroad. I support undergraduate, MA and doctoral students in History of Art, History of Design, and art and design courses: essays, dissertations, research proposals, reading lists, critical theory and academic writing. I have extensive experience of working with international students, helping them adapt to the expectations of UK and English-language universities and to write about art with clarity and confidence.

Adults who love art. For those who want to understand art more deeply, I offer private, tailored courses in your own time: a period, a movement, a single artist, or a museum's collection. They can be online, at home or in front of the works themselves, and they're ideal before a trip to Paris, Florence or New York, or for collectors building their knowledge.

Artists and designers. I help art and design students and practitioners engage with theory and place their work in a historical and critical context.

My range covers the whole history of Western art. My specialisms are nineteenth-century and modernist art, the relationship between art and design, and critical and cultural theory, including object-oriented thought, theories of time and Romantic anti-capitalism.

About the lesson

University support (online, worldwide)
- Essay planning, structure and argument; feedback on drafts
- Dissertation and thesis support, from choosing a topic to the final edit
- Critical theory explained clearly and applied to your own topic
- Research proposals and applications for MA and PhD programmes
- Writing about art in academic English, for students whose first language isn't English. I'm not an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) specialist, so a good working command of written English is needed to get the most from our sessions

I can only ever guide your own work: I don't write essays or dissertations for students.

Private art history for adults
- Bespoke one-to-one or small-group courses built around your interests
- Preparation before gallery visits and travel, and private visits to galleries and museums where possible
- Guidance on reading and on looking, for new and experienced collectors

Format
- Online via Zoom or Teams, scheduled to suit your time zone
- In person at my home in St Leonards on Sea, or at your home or a suitable venue in East Sussex and Kent (travel at my discretion), and in galleries and museums in London and the South East by arrangement
- Single sessions, regular weekly sessions, or a block of hours for a dissertation or course

Whose point of view do works of art, and the institutions around them, record? How do artists negotiate "theory"? Can art ever make us good or happy?

I find these questions endlessly fascinating, and I hope you will too. Whether you're writing a dissertation in Seoul or standing in front of a Titian in Venice, you'll encounter extraordinary and beautiful things, and your confidence in your own judgement, as a viewer, a scholar or a maker of art, will grow.

My daughter was predicted, at best, an E grade in History of Art but went on not only to pass the AS exam but achieved an impressive A grade. Mr Shaddick was the decisive contributing factor to her turn-around and his knowledge of the history of art, his teaching skills and understanding of the exam requirements brought out the best in my daughter. His services, for me, were money well spent and would not hesitate recommending him - I'm definitely retaining him through my daughters A2 exams next year.
