ART 487 - Art History Methodology Seminar In this course, graduating seniors analyze methods and theories of art history, with a particular focus on the transformation of the discipline that began in the 1970s, when the conventional methods of art historical analysis (style, form, iconography, artistic intention) were challenged and replace by the so called “revisionist” perspectives of visual studies. The course surveys a wide range of approaches used traditionally by art historians within the discipline, beginning with writers such as Vasari, Riegl, Panofsky, Gombrich, and ending with the more recent art historical studies informed by Marxism, feminism, and numerous manifestations of postmodern and postcolonial thought. Students are required to write a capstone art history project during the seminar. Every year. Prerequisite(s): Art History seniors only. (4 Credits)
