Art History MinorDivision of Humanities - Adm
Division of Humanities
Art history involves the study of ways the visual arts reflect and shape the world's cultures.
Objectives and Recommendations
The purposes of the art history curriculum are:
1) To develop students' understanding of some of the historical traditions in the visual arts.
2) To develop and improve students' ability to analyze and interpret works of art through oral and written means.
3) To help students discover the rich and complex relationship of art to other aspects of culture.
4) To encourage students to have direct contact with art by means of studio art courses, class field trips and assignments, gallery internships, and study abroad experiences.
The discipline also recommends two years of college-level courses in a foreign language.
