Art History at University of Hartford

Art History at University of Hartford Department of Art History Why do people make art? Where do you find art? What can art tell us about our world? Why does some art cost millions of dollars?

Art History majors grapple with these questions by studying art across history and across cultures. Art History explores the world through images and objects, emphasizing visual learning. Art historians are trained in clear expository writing and critical thinking. They are good researchers and usually have a creative flair. With these qualities and skills, graduates pursue a variety of careers, i

ncluding teaching, museum work, archeology, gallery direction, interior designer, art conservation and supervision of visual resource collections. They are also welcome in most business settings and are prepared to enter graduate school in disciplines as diverse as environmental studies or law.

With great anticipation for the start of a new academic year, we wait to see which Henri will arrive on Monday!

Thank you to all the faculty and students who are working really hard adapting to new pandemic rules. In general, art history is well-suited to online learning....but we can't wait to be all together again in East Hall 220! Wear those masks and wash those hands.

Fall semester is off to a great start. The art history majors and professors had a get together over a casual lunch. Students who have been around shared lessons learned (what I wish I had known when I was a freshman) with our incoming freshmen. Then there were tips about how to get into the best classes, advice on study abroad, and so much more! We actually got so carried away we forgot to take pictures! We’re supposed to be all about the visual....and not a single photo exists to capture this delightful gathering. We’ll do it again!

A new academic year is approaching and we are looking forward to welcoming a wonderful new group of Art History majors. We are also delighted to welcome a new member of the Art History faculty at University of Hartford....Rashmi Viswanathan (a specialist in modern and contemporary global art with expertise in the arts of South Asia).
