Art (Art History)

About

The Art History program has offered an Art History major and minor since 2002. Art History majors are required to have a distribution of courses that include pre- and post-Renaissance work, as well as a course in the art of a non-western culture. Recommended minors for Art History majors include English, Anthropology, Business Administration, Chemistry (for Art Conservation), Film, Foreign Languages, Global Studies, History, Mass Communications, Philosophy, Sociology, Studio Art, and Women's Studies. The program also supports all studio-based courses in the Art Department. All Art majors are required to take four Art History courses; two of these must be Art 2201 and 2202. For a minor in Art History, students are required to take Art 2201, Art 2202, and 9 additional hours at the 3000 level or above. Art History faculty work closely with faculty in studio-based disciplines and expect Art majors to forge connections between their studio work and the content of their Art History courses.

Art History courses help prepare students to live in a media-saturated world by building skills in visual analysis, critical thinking, research, writing, and oral presentation. The Art History program at UWG offers courses in a wide range of geographical and chronological areas. The strengths of its faculty lie in the study of medieval art and modern/contemporary art and theory. Courses emphasize the interrelationship between art and historical cultural influences, such as the links between medieval pilgrimage and the artworks created to reinforce religious teachings and inspire spiritual responses, and the relationship between artmaking and critical theory in treating the changing concept of the avant-garde. For more information, please see the Academic Catalog. A program map, which provides a guide for students to plan their course of study, is available for download in the Courses tab below.
