Theories & Methods of Art History introduces students to various art historical and interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that have shaped the understanding, interpretation, and production of visual art. Course materials consist of primary texts, secondary or applied texts, and artists’ texts. Students are thus exposed to theories & methods in their original formulation, in their art historical or practical application, as well as in their adaptation by an artist.
