Art History<\/h1>\n

The power of visual art resides in the fact that it is simultaneously more concrete and more abstract than a text. Through the study of formal analysis, iconology, and historic themes, uncover the \u201cwhat\u201d behind a work of art, \u201chow\u201d that work imparts meaning visually, and the cultural context \u2013 the \u201cwhy\u201d \u2013 from which it derives.<\/p>\n
