Art History is a discipline within the Humanities Department that examines the history of artistic production in a rich variety of contexts. Study involves the investigation of the world’s monuments and images from a number of perspectives, including visual analyses of the art works, inquiries into the lives of artists, and examinations of the social, political and cultural contexts in which works of art are made. Works of art in all media (painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, architecture, the decorative arts, and photography, film, and video) are considered.
