Methods Class
Image and Word: Methods in Art and Art History
This course examines methods and methodologies in studio art and art history. Students practice skills such as analyzing works of art for their visual, iconographic and socio-historical components, summarizing and critiquing scholarly texts and considering their methodological approaches, and giving public presentations. Students will have the opportunity to interact with all members of the Department of Art and Art History and the director of the Dalton Gallery, thus gaining a breadth and depth in their understanding of intersecting and complementary practices in areas of art and art history.
