The Value of Understanding the Relevance of Art History

Art is the place where history, religion, psychology, politics and culture converge.

Artists have, and continue to interpret their experiences.

Art historians interpret the objects made and how they become historical records of human development.

Visual analysis, expression of Art, and the application of conceptual frameworks are essential to understanding across history, religions, psychology, politics, and cultures.

In this 21st Century, knowledge and information produced is communicated through images.

Art History teaches us to understand the ways in which people have created and employed images and how they embody important ideas of the day and are cherished aspirations of cultures around the globe.

Through analysis or practice, Art History provides the key to a  deeper, broader, and more profound insight and understanding of the human experience.

From an informed understanding of Art History, the purpose, communicative power, and problem-solving skills develop from studying and creating personal works of Art. Through Art History, Art becomes intellectually honest, personalized, and a useful tool to understanding and connecting with the world.
