Art History - Carthage College

Art History from Carthage College is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Studio and academic programs of the Department of Art provide a range of experiences for study of the visual arts for all Carthage students. The Department of Art offers majors in Art History. The art history and theory courses in both Western and non-Western traditions allow the student to study visual art as an enduring cultural legacy and the site of aesthetic exploration and expression. These courses are designed to provide the intellectual framework for understanding and interpreting visual culture. They also build the analytical skills necessary to discuss the complex modes of artistic expression across the ages. Because the curriculum pivots around artistic production and exhibition, museum classes and internships, visiting artist workshops, and involvement in Carthage's Johnson Art Gallery are central experiences. The culmination of a studio major is the Senior Art Exhibition. The culmination of a major in art history is the public presentation of an original thesis. A concentration in the visual arts provides essential preparation for employment, or graduate study leading to employment, in: forensic illustration; industrial design, art conservation and restoration; visual merchandising; scenic arts for the entertainment industry; art therapy; production pottery, master printmaking, arts administration; visual and data analysis; research; teaching; publishing (editorial, design, research); curating growing government or corporate collections; museum, university or college archive curation; positions with local arts councils and non-profit agencies.
