Those interested in understanding humanity’s past and its relationship to our present may benefit from examining history through the lens of art, one of humanity’s most universal activities.

An art history mentorship teaches students to identify, classify, describe, evaluate, and interpret the art products and development of the visual, graphic, plastic, performing, decorative, and musical arts. Student projects range from investigating the effect of science on sculpture, to analyzing the most frequently used symbols in Frida Kahlo’s paintings, or an exposition on how commedia dell’arte characters were shaped by ideas and stereotypes of the day.
