Art History

 

Offering an understanding and appreciation of humanity's diverse visual experience, the study of art history incorporates architecture, sculpture, painting, graphics, and crafts.  The study of art history invariably leads to an examination of the confluence of political, sociological, and intellectual events that attends the creation of art and the shaping of civilization.  The department attracts and supports independent thinkers, creative organizers and imaginative communicators, and challenges them to develop personal creative vision, technical expertise and self-discipline.

Through interdisciplinary experiences, university studies programming, and investigations in the visual arts, art majors appreciate their aesthetic heritage, think critically, and communicate effectively with visual form, as well as with verbal language and other forms of symbolic expression.
