According to the subtitle, this writing-intensive undergraduate seminar examines topics in art history and visual studies that are explicitly not limited by geographical location and/or period in history. Topics might be defined by subject matter, artistic practices and traditions, genres, and other comparable categories within art history and visual studies. Students will develop skills in writing and formal visual analysis, as well as practical skills needed to conduct and present their research. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course for the Art History and Visual Studies program, and therefore is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
