Hello budding artists and historians!

We’re the University of Warwick’s Ancient Art Society, and we’d like to welcome you to our Tumblr!

Here you can find posts we like about historical arts and info on the society, posts from the exec and other fun things like that! Let me introduce our head exec members for this year:

Basmah, our President, a very organised and sweet being who keeps everyone in check and remembers, like... so many things no one else does about setting up the society. Most likely exec member to sell a book and become a millionaire.

Willow, our Treasurer, a crazy good artist who is fantastic at graphic design and eats so many gluten free brownies we aren’t sure why she hasn’t turned into one.

Rhianna (me!), our Social Secretary, who likes D&D, might overdose on tea some time soon and is constantly stress-eating bread. 

We all wish you a lovely rest of the month and hope you aren’t feeling too nervous for the new academic year, whether you’re a fresher or a PhD student. Stay tuned for more from us, updates for our society, classics and history news and other bits and pieces. 

Lots of love from Rhianna and the rest of the exec!
