Art History at University of Guelph at Main

Art history is the study of art and architecture as manifestations of human creativity and as valuable forms of historical documentation. Art history students learn to appreciate the roles that visual arts play in the lives of human beings, as they become familiar with major works in the Western and non-Western traditions. Students learn how works of art embody, but also condition and control cultural, economic, social, religious, political, racial, and gender dynamics. The Art History program covers historical perspectives on the visual arts, study of the methodologies of art history and critical theory, and consideration of contemporary issues in the practice and display of art. The program encourages broad, interdisciplinary exploration of artistic, aesthetic, and visual traditions in their social, historical, and cross-cultural contexts. The Art History program engages in innovative teaching, and provides students with opportunities to travel to museums, galleries, and sites and to discuss their work in a supportive and challenging environment.
