| | UC Riverside 2000-2001 - Art History |
 | | The discipline of Art History attempts to critically analyze how art and architecture have been used in the past and are used in the present through a thorough understanding of their visual, contextual, and ideological bases. |
 | | Since Art History is an interdisciplinary subject that teaches critical thinking, majors are well-prepared to find successful careers in teaching, research, museums, galleries, art criticism, publishing, historic preservation, and law, as well as to obtain advanced degrees in Art History, the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools. |
 | | Topics include the religious and political roles of art, the rise of secular imagery, the increased role of women in the arts, and the impact of popular culture and photography, and the other new media in the visual arts. |
