| Description: This intensive seminar provides a crash course in research and writing tools, critical methods, and career options for art history majors. Students will design their own research projects, conceptualize exhibitions, give oral presentations, and hear from a variety of art world professionals. They will refine their research, writing, and speaking abilities, while learning to interpret art through lenses ranging from formalism to Postcolonialism. They will draft applications for internships, jobs, and graduate programs. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the skills that are essential for art historians, and to explore how those skills can translate into rewarding careers. |
