Course Information

The Art Department is a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and an approved subject matter waiver program through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

  • Students completing this program will have demonstrated:

  • recognition of art from a diverse number of periods, cultures, and civilizations

  • experience with the materials and working methods of artists ƒ study of at least one foreign language

  • the ability to find information in the library using both traditional and online resources

  • recognition of different methods of interpretation

  • use of the vocabulary and language of visual analysis

  • understanding of the relationship of art to other disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences

  • oral presentation of information and ideas to a group

written presentation of information and ideas in a formal research paper. At Humboldt, art history is taught in a variety of ways, based on the visual and historical contexts in which art is created. At the beginning level of instruction, the program features period courses (ART 104 series), such as Renaissance Art and 20th Century Art Art. These courses introduce works of art within their historical contexts.

Upper division courses focus on narrower periods, movements, artists, or problems, such as Rococo & Revolution and public art.

The undergraduate seminar provides a capstone experience preparing students for advanced study leading to teaching and curatorial careers. Besides courses in art history, students enroll in at least two studio art courses to familiarize themselves with materials and creative working methods of artists. Study of gallery and museum methods gives students both theoretical and practical experience in the important areas of art display and management. This can lead to careers in the gallery and museum world. Students also complete a year of language study to learn how language affects thinking and visual experience in other cultures.
