History of Art

History of Art

Offered by the Visual Art and History of Art department.

For millennia, the artist’s imagination has captured stories, preserved cultures, and even stirred up mystery. When you consider time period and place, you gain a deeper understanding of what’s been created, who created it, and why. That’s what you’ll explore as a history of art major at Wheaton. Boost your visual literacy through object-based learning, visit galleries, interact with guest artists, and study with an expert faculty. Art history majors pursue fields like education, architecture, museums, and art restoration. Add an area of inquiry, such as social change or African diaspora, to further your knowledge or support graduate school ambitions.

For any questions regarding History of Art, please contact the History of Art Chair, R. Tripp Evans.
