Examine a wide range of art historical periods and topics, as well as critical theories, while taking into account the constantly extending reach of visual studies in a globalized world. Many fields connect and inform art historical study – you can find a wide variety of courses in other Faculty of Arts departments to complement your studies.
Art History provides you with an excellent foundation for further advanced studies. Through a progression of courses, you’ll learn how to analyze and compare images and material culture from a broad variety of cultural contexts, integrate different kinds of information gleaned from historical research and critical reflection, and develop synthetic arguments concerning the impact of images, art, and media in society.
You can choose a combination of art historical and studio practice courses geared toward the development of skills in visual analysis and art historical research. Courses are taught in a lively atmosphere of instructor-led debate, discussion, and critique. Majors may concentrate in one of three areas: arts of Europe and the Americas, arts of indigenous Americans (pre-Hispanic and First Nations), or arts of East and South Asia.
