需求
The BS degree in 艺术历史 and 理论 is a professional degree program based on a curriculum historically developed in conjunction with studio BFA and MFA programs. It is designed to instill an understanding of artistic developments in the Western and global historical contexts, to provide students with the critical and theoretical tools necessary for functioning as art professionals, and to prepare them for the pursuit of graduate studies in the field.
The faculty of the School and the Division of 艺术历史 believe in the necessity of anchoring historical and theoretical knowledge with material practice. 因此, admission to the program requires the submission and review of a portfolio that will assure the candidate’s ability to withstand the rigors of both academic and studio education.
艺术历史 and 理论 majors are required to earn a minimum grade of B- for the 300 and 400 level courses in 艺术历史 needed to fulfill the required core credits toward the degree major.
In the first year, Foundations in 艺术历史 consists of a series of half-semester courses taken in three categories: Non-Western, Ancient to Baroque and Modern/Contemporary. We believe that all courses at all levels of university education serve as points of access to motivated students. Foundation courses introduce students not only to the history of various periods and places but also to basic methods of doing research and writing about art.
At the sophomore level, students are required to take Issues and Debates in Contemporary 艺术, a course built around presentations of and discussions around issues relevant to the contemporary art world.
The minimum 艺术历史 requirement for the BFA degree can be fulfilled with the successful completion of two additional courses at the junior and senior levels. Students in upper division classes study the history of art in a more focused manner by examining works organized according to a specific culture (African, Pre-Columbian), time period (Eighteenth-Century, 文艺复兴时期), movement (Modernism, Impressionism), topic (Women in 艺术) or medium (Ceramics, 摄影).
This minor provides a broad base of knowledge about art as it relates to history and culture, exposes students to a variety of theoretical and methodological issues and helps them develop critical and analytical skills that can be applied to art making.
The 艺术历史 minor is available to BFA students who have successfully completed 艺术历史 Foundation required courses (ARTH 100-level requirement and ARTH 211). Sixteen additional credits in 艺术历史 at the 300 and 400 level are required to complete the minor.
The 艺术历史 minor is also available to students in other colleges/schools at the University with the permission of the Division Chair.
