专业介绍

The concentration in History of Art and Architecture introduces students to the history of art, architecture, and visual culture.

The concentration in History of Art and Architecture (HIAA) introduces students to the history of art, architecture, and material culture. Students in HIAA explore a wide range of artistic traditions from around the world, and develop the skills necessary to analyze artworks, artifacts, and the built environment dating from the paleolithic to the contemporary. Concentrators are encouraged to develop familiarity with the distinctive periods, regions, sub-fields, and theoretical approaches that collectively inform the discipline, while at the same time developing an individualized program. Concentrators will receive essential training in perceptual, historical, and critical analysis.

Student Goals

Students in this concentration will:

  • Explore the historical development of the artistic traditions of different periods and geographic regions
  • Develop an awareness of the history and theories of architecture and urban development
  • Understand how objects were made, viewed, and collected
  • Learn to think critically about the historical processes whereby some objects have come to be recognized as “art”
  • Become conversant in perceptual, historical, and critical analysis
  • Engage in independent research
