. __Why Study Art History?

Have you ever looked at a photograph, a painting, a building, a sculpture, or even a billboard advertisement and found it so beautiful or perhaps disturbing that you could not take your eyes off it?

While art history is often for people who find images interesting and historically important, this course also provides skills that go far beyond the appreciation of art. One important skill, literacy, is not only the ability to read and evaluate texts, but to function effectively in modern society. Students today need to be visually literate, that is, to have skills enabling them to understand how images displayed in their environment effect actions, desires, and beliefs. Thus, in this art history course we will focus on improving visual literacy while gaining valuable experience as a critical thinker, so that we may effectively investigate different kinds of images and objects from different cultures and eras.
