What is Art History?
Art History is the study of visual arts within a cultural and historical context. Art historians understand the importance of human creativity and artistic expression that represent the ethnic, aesthetic, social and cultural traditions over time. Through observation and investigation, art historians seek to understand the styles, techniques and methodologies of the visual arts created throughout the ages. In doing so, they uncover the cultural aspects of societies from a global perspective to gain a deeper understanding of the human experience.
Contemporary issues in Art History: Historical Methodologies, Cultural and Societal Influences, Beliefs and Traditions, Historical Interpretation, Conservation and the Role of Art in Culture.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History?
Students who major in Art History develop knowledge and skills that can be applied to a variety of careers that include teaching, research and development, public relations, collection and curatorial management, appraising, marketing, sales, journalism and publishing.
Potential employers include: Museums, galleries, historical societies, public and private schools, colleges and universities, libraries, auction companies, publishing and media companies, businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations.
