(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Art History Theory and Methods is a required course for all students minoring in art history and should be taken in the junior or senior year, preferably before the thesis is undertaken. The goal of this course is to examine the discipline and practice of art history. The course structure places emphasis not only on reading about the historical and theoretical bases of the discipline, but also on teaching students to identify methods used by various authors and to apply the methods they read about to actual works of art. The assigned readings acquaint students with a broad spectrum of approaches to art history. It is hoped that students will identify and define their goals as an art historian and begin to approach problems with a self-aware focus. Beyond identifying their own mode of inquiry, each student will become more skilled at recognizing the types of approaches used by other art historians (or academics in any field), noting their strengths, weaknesses, and biases.
