Visual Arts: Art History and Studio Fine Arts

As an art history major at Union, you will explore visual communication across historical periods and cultures, examining how societies have defined themselves through art. Your studies may intersect with fields such as art conservation, Africana studies, American studies, Asian studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, film studies and gender studies. You'll benefit from small classes, attentive professors, and opportunities for internships and study abroad.

Working in the Feigenbaum Center for Visual Arts, you will be intellectually, creatively and technically challenged in small classes that promote artistic and personal discovery. You will experience a robust curriculum under the guidance of accomplished faculty who are active in their respective fields, regularly exhibiting their work and garnering awards in prestigious shows.

This minor allows students to synthesize introductory and intermediate classes from computer science and visual arts that explore the interaction between creative and computational processes. These include basic courses in digital art, traditional studio art, web programming and programming for image and sound processing.
