ARTH 4110 - Senior Synthesis: Theory and Methods in Art History

5 credit hours
The theory and methods seminar is the capstone course for Art History Majors. Students explore many of the methodologies employed by art historians to understand works of art. By engaging with the questions and debates that have shaped the field of art history, students attempt to understand how the discipline itself is part of historical processes. Through critical reading, writing and reflective response, students not only investigate art history’s history but also begin to articulate their own positions and voices. Requisites may be bypassed by the department with permission of instructor.

Prerequisite Course(s): ARTH 2110 or ARTH 2120 and one (1) 3000- level course in art history
