Seattle University's Art History program examines how artistic expression and visual culture influence our historical perspectives. How does an artwork communicate cultural concepts in ways distinct from written texts or documents? Students develop skills in visual analysis and art criticism through engagements with Seattle's museum collections and exhibition spaces, combining these experiences with critical examination of diverse scholarly viewpoints. As an Art History major, you'll examine artistic traditions and visual culture to uncover artworks' original significance while drawing parallels to contemporary issues. You'll study various historical periods and societies, investigating the materials, methods, and display approaches used by creators. The curriculum features visits to regional museums and public art installations, curator-led gallery discussions, and presentations by visiting artists and academics. Elective options include Visual Arts, Photography, or Design courses.
