								This course introduces students to the methods and theories that have defined - and that continue to challenge - the discipline of art history. We will examine and analyze some of the many methodologies that define art history, from its beginnings in Formalism and Biography to Iconography, Marxism, Feminism, and Post-structuralism. By reading, writing, and debating about the central issues that inform the study of art, students will begin to understand the complexity of the discipline. Student work will culminate in an oral and written final project. Prerequisite: By permission of instructor or advisor.
