Engaged with Art

Why art? 

We use art to deepen your ability to think critically, problem-solve effectively, reason clearly, listen constructively, and speak persuasively. 

set of skills

Have you ever been in a museum looking at a work of art wanting to understand why? who? when? and how?

Art history doesn’t consist in simply listing all the art movements and placing them on a timeline. It is the study of objects of art considered within their time period. Art historians analyze visual arts’ meaning (painting, sculpture, architecture) at the time they were created. Also, another of art history’s mission is to establishes authorial origins of artworks, i.e. discovering who created a particular artwork, when, when and for what reason.

Develop critical thinking

Studying art history is really not about memorizing dates, artists’ names, art movements, etc. Instead, it drives you to analyze paintings, photographs, sculptures, etc. To support your analysis, you must build rational and convincing arguments, hence developing your critical thinking.

Our courses are structured in such and such way
