Art and Art History New York University

Overview

Painting, sculpture, architecture as well as ornament, design, and photography have provided rich traditions of visual expression and communication, and the development of new media has greatly expanded this visual repertoire.

Different cultures, in different places and at different times, have valued and conceptualized vision and made use of the visual arts in a variety of ways. The visual arts investigate and re-imagine the physical, social, cultural, and spiritual spheres of human existence and offer arguments about and interpretations of these realms.

Career opportunities

The Art and Art History BA program offered at New York University prepares students for careers not only as artists or professionals in museums, the arts industries, or education, but also for any career where creativity, imagination, analytical ability, conceptual clarity, cross cultural understanding, and a respect for human achievement and difference are valued.
