AHT 495 Senior Seminar in Art History and Visual Culture
This seminar is intended as a capstone experience where senior students synthesize their theoretical, methodological, and practical knowledge and apply it to different types of writing genres used in art history and adjacent fields, such as art criticism and journalism, museums and heritage, galleries and market orientated businesses, education and studio art. Students will produce texts in formats used in various professional settings, including conference abstracts and papers, academic articles, art criticism articles, newspaper feature articles, artworks’ cataloging and notices, press releases, catalog entries and essays, and artists’ statements and written presentation skills. In addition, students engage in a semester long research project, which will be presented at the end of the semester to an audience of students and professors.
