Art History
Art History - Bachelor's Programme
Art History is the study of the history of visual expression in Western culture.
Analyses of aesthetic design, content and the possible function of selected pieces of art constitute the academic approach to art history in our Bachelor's programme. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the theoretical and historical basis for and development of artistic expressions. Therefore, selected pieces of historical and modern art include architecture, handicrafts/design, sculptures, paintings, photographs, installations/equipment, objects, performance, and videos/DVDs.
Through the programme of study, students will be provided with an overview of the most significant eras in the history of art. They will also learn how to analyse and interpret architecture and environments, pictures and other aesthetic objects. Additionally, they will be provided with basic proficiency to place works in their historical context in order to conduct an analysis of their relation to contemporary historical, social and cultural origins. Therefore, a fundamental introduction to the history of the discipline and the most important theories and traditions of interpretation is an integrated part of the programme.
Our Bachelor's programme is mainly concerned with the sub-disciplines of the Middle Ages, modern architecture and town planning, modern pictorial art, and gender perspectives in art history.
