History of Art and Architecture - Miami University - Oxford

History of Art and Architecture from Miami University - Oxford is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. What is History of Art and Architecture? Creating works of art and architecture is one way that people have explored their world and themselves. The history of art and architecture as a discipline investigates the relationship between visual and architectural forms and the people who produce them. This is a creative and interpretive field, grounded in the humanities and connected to history, the visual arts, literature, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, and philosophy. To go into this field, you should be interested in how ideas are expressed visually, in cultures other than your own, in historical forces, and how people cope with evolving cultural circumstances.
