Courses for the minor have been selected to prepare students in the fundamentals of this discipline and to cover a range of historical periods — spanning prehistoric to contemporary — as well as a variety of media. One studio art class is included to enhance the student’s appreciation of the creative process and to strengthen their ability to write accurately about art.
