BARNARD ART HISTORY
MISSION STATEMENT
Art History,
which is devoted to the study of the visual arts, is one of the
broadest of the humanistic disciplines. It is concerned not only
with the nature of works of art -- their form, style, and content,
but also with the social, political, and cultural circumstances that
shape them.
The
introductory level courses aim at developing in students a lifelong
understanding and appreciation of works of art. The rest of the
curriculum is geared to preparing majors either for graduate study
leading to careers in university teaching and museums, or for
positions in the art world, in galleries, publishing, criticism, the
visual media, art consultation, conservation, and the like. These
courses also provide opportunities for correlated learning to
students in other fields.
The
department, fortunate in being located in New York City, one of the
world's great art centers, takes full advantage of the rich
resources of the city's museums and galleries in its course of
study.
