Art history courses offer students a critical lens into human-made objects, images and sites from across the world: from the traditional media of painting, sculpture and architecture to the wider array of material culture that includes photography, jewelry, porcelain, amulets, bronze vessels, earthworks, happenings, polychrome prints, video art, textiles and illuminated manuscripts. Through direct engagement with these objects, students come to understand the past and the ways art’s history shapes our views of the present.
