Art History

A group of people stand in a circle around a piece of art laying flat on a pedestal.

In the Vermont State University Art History Concentration, you will complement your creation of art with a deep understanding about the cultural advances of art, architecture, and the historical origins of art.

This concentration opens the door for you to explore the artistic themes and techniques of different historical periods and understand how artistic movements responded to one another over time. You will also develop analytical skills that further your understanding of the history of art and architecture.
