艺术史学士学位

该本科课程旨在帮助学生对视觉艺术和视觉文化进行批判性思考。这些课程的重点是图像和媒体的含义，它们的历史发展，社会角色以及与文学，音乐和哲学等学科的关系。“艺术史”学科教授学生如何分析和解释美术作品（绘画，素描，版画和雕塑），摄影和运动图像媒体（电影，视频，电视和数字艺术），物质文化（仪式物品，时装，广告以及装饰，应用和工艺美术）以及建筑环境（建筑，城市主义和设计）。我们认为视觉素养和分析技能不是天生的，而是可以通过培训和实践获得的。从古代到现在，我们的研究对象均来自非洲，亚洲，美洲，中东以及西欧，中欧和东
Think critically about the visual arts and visual culture and focus on the meaning of images and media, and their historical development, roles in society, and relationships to disciplines such as literature, music, and philosophy. The undergraduate program is designed to help students think critically about the visual arts and visual culture. Courses focus on the meaning of images and media, and their historical development, roles in society, and relationships to disciplines such as literature, music, and philosophy. The discipline of Art History teaches students how to analyze and interpret works of fine art (paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture), photography and moving image media (film, video, television, and digital art), material culture (ritual objects, fashion, advertisements, and the decorative, applied, and industrial arts), and the built environment (architecture, urbanism, and design). We take it as axiomatic that the skills of visual literacy and analysis are not innate but may be acquired through training and practice. Ranging from antiquity to the present, our objects of study are drawn from the rich and complex cultures of Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Art History is a historical discipline that seeks to reintegrate the work of art into the original context of its making and reception, foregrounding its significant status as both historical document and act of social communication. At the same time, Art History seeks to understand the ways in which the work of art transcends the historical moment of its production, taking on a range of different meanings in later historical periods, including our own.
