Art History

Art History is the examination of artistic expression, aesthetic movements, and visual culture within historical, cultural, and stylistic contexts. This skill involves analyzing artistic techniques, symbolism, and the influence of social and political factors on art production. Art historians study various artistic periods, from classical sculpture to contemporary digital art, interpreting works within their historical frameworks. Mastery of art history enhances cultural appreciation, curatorial expertise, and critical analysis in academic and museum settings.
