Overview

Understanding the sources, aesthetics, and significance of images that people use to communicate — whether in the confined world of art or beyond — is crucial for anyone wanting to play an active part in society.

Key Facts

In the History of Art and Architecture program of Tufts University, students learn how to look at and write about works of art while exploring the historical and transcultural contexts in which visual works emerge and operate, and immersing themselves in questions of politics, identity, religion, economics, mobility, communication, and many other issues.

All majors are required to take two courses that introduce broad fields and provide foundational training in the discipline. We strongly recommend that students take these classes early in their course of study, as they allow students to acquaint themselves with different fields and periods and with different faculty.

The two introductory courses are designed as a springboard to the more specialized upper level. As with all humanistic disciplines, art history is underpinned by certain theories and methods; these are at work in each and every course, but they are the focus of FAH 100, Theories and Methods of Art History, also a required class for majors, normally taken in the senior year.
