Fine Arts Art History, Theory, and Criticism - School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Fine Arts Art History, Theory, and Criticism from School of the Art Institute of Chicago is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Art History, Theory, and Criticism affords students the ability to develop their studio practice while at the same time obtaining an in-depth knowledge of art history, theory, and criticism. Studio classes make up approximately half of the curriculum, and students are also required to complete thirty-nine credits of art history which include the senior seminar and thesis classes. The art history classes include traditional studies in art history with a focus on modern and contemporary art . The department consists of a core of full-time faculty and a larger group of part-time faculty from other departments in the School, from the museum, and established scholars, critics, curators, and other professionals from the Chicago area. The department offers a wide range of courses in modern and contemporary art, theory and criticism , and visual culture (totaling about eighty separate lecture courses and seminars a year). Art History faculty are also in close contact with the studio areas. As teachers and advisors, they are available to students for discussion of studio work. Students will find studio faculty teaching courses on issues in contemporary art , and art history faculty giving critiques in the studios, bridging what might otherwise be an artificial gap between art history and art making. This integration of theory and practice is one of the special characteristics of the School. View more details on School of the Art Institute of Chicago .
