Course Information

Art history explores the world and its cultures through artistic productions. It provides insight into the values and concerns of various peoples, the ways in which they interpreted and interacted with their environment, and helps to determine the impacts and outcomes of such outlooks on our future. Through such critical engagement with the past and present, the art history student becomes uniquely situated to help determine his or her community’s and culture’s identities and its decisions.

In this, the Art History and Criticism program participates within Webster University’s mission to create global citizens. The program’s close relationship with the department’s studio programs lends a strong contemporary focus to the department’s outlook, and the student’s studies, while a simultaneous focus on the foundations of contemporary culture provide historical groundwork. In addition, the diverse curricular offerings of the university complement the interdisciplinary nature of art history, allowing students to pursue interests in other disciplines that also assist in their art historical studies. After taking introductory courses in both areas, students take advanced courses in two major tracks—early modern art and modern/contemporary art. Additional offerings in non-western and ancient art round out the learning opportunities. As a final project, Art History and Criticism majors produce a thesis in an area of their choosing and present it at the annual Art History and Criticism Symposium.
