The Art History track provides a foundation for the understanding of art, in all of its various forms, and encourages the development of visual literacy. Contextual, as well as stylistic approaches, provide exposure to different methodologies involved in the study of visual material. A broad range of courses foster critical thinking, multicultural awareness, civic and global responsibility, and provide art historical skills that lead to an understanding of image making and the power and function of images.
The School affirms that a theoretical and working understanding of the historical meanings and studio applications of the human image are critical in the education of Visual Art and Art History students. To develop such an understanding and as part of the program some courses study the from and proportion of the human figure. Art History courses utilize images of clothed and unclothed human figures. Nude models are used as reference in Studio courses.
