Overview

This Art History and Visual Culture program provides Denison University students with the opportunity for instruction and practice in the visual arts as preparation for graduate studies and professional pursuits in this field.

Mission Statement

The Art History and Visual Culture program engages art and visual culture from global perspectives.
We interrogate ways in which visual images and objects are powerful agents in society and can be used either to support or undermine the status quo, to frame our understanding of class, culture, politics, and society, and to create, conceal, or contest perceptions of reality, time, and space.
We offer different perspectives on the study of visual culture around the globe, engage different fields of research and combine diverse teaching practices and experiences.

Our classes look at artists, visual and material objects and environments from the

Americas,

Africa,

Asia,

and Europe,

and from ancient to contemporary times.

We value listening to a multiplicity of voices and encourage students to make connections between different art practices and critical approaches, but also learn that these connections may not always be simple or direct. As a program, we pursue a richer, more critical, and global visual outlook on the discipline of art history and visual culture.
