Art History and Studio Art School: Concordia University Faculty: Faculty of Fine Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Art History, Criticism and Conservation Fine/Studio Arts, General Description: Art history is important for both the student scholar and the student artist. An understanding of creative and visual responses to the world throughout the history of humankind gives students valuable perspectives both on their own work and on contemporary visual culture. Art history is more than art appreciation. It is a lively, at times controversial, discipline that invites investigation of the roles, which intellectual, cultural, political, social and economic factors play in defining the work of art and its subsequent reception. For this reason, students are encouraged to explore such disciplines as history, literature, philosophy, religion, sociology and anthropology, and are strongly advised to study languages appropriate to their interests. For the art history graduate, there is a future in a variety of fields — museums and galleries, archives and libraries, conservation, education, journalism and research. Art History and Studio Art encourage the cross-referencing of different creative traditions within a solid historical, theoretical and studio foundation. Its primary objective is to give students the choice to define their own needs in tailoring an individualized program of studies within open yet distinct parameters in the studio arts and art history disciplines.
