necessary to analyze and critically evaluate the images that comprise our
increasingly technologically driven and media rich world;
-
the ability to interpret the
formal attributes, discuss the historical contexts, and assess the social
functions of works of art and objects of visual culture from a broad
chronologic and geographic span and from diverse media, including painting,
sculpture, architecture, the decorative arts, crafts, ritual objects,
illustrated books, prints, photography, film, performance art, and new media;
- the ability to write and
speak about images with clarity and rigor;
- the ability to construct
historical and theoretical arguments that demonstrate an awareness of the
relevant critical terms and interpretive methods of the discipline of art
history, engage the appropriate technologies for conducting research, and
