History of Art

Current edition: ycps archive . click to change..

• Summary of Requirements

Director of undergraduate studies:   Craig Buckley ;  arthistory.yale.edu

Art history is the study of all forms of art, architecture, and visual culture in their social and historical contexts. The History of Art major can serve either as a general program in the humanities or as the groundwork for more specialized training. Unless otherwise indicated, all courses in History of Art are open to all students in Yale College.

Course Numbering

100-level courses are broad introductory lecture courses that address basic art history from a number of thematic perspectives. Prospective majors are encouraged, but not required, to take these courses as early in their course of study as possible. Under certain circumstances, students who have taken the Advanced Placement test in art history may earn acceleration credit and, in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies (DUS), may substitute an upper-level class for one required 100-level course.

Intermediate and advanced courses, numbered above 200, encompass more specialized surveys and themes in art history. 

Requirements of the Major

Twelve term courses are required to complete the major: two introductory courses at the 100 level; four intermediate and advanced courses at the 200 and 300 levels; two seminars at the 350-498 level; a methods seminar, HSAR 401 ; two electives; and the senior essay, HSAR 499 .

The major requires that the six intermediate and advanced courses must satisfy both a geographical and a chronological distribution requirement. These courses must be chosen from four geographical areas and four time periods. The geographical requirement is divided into five areas: Africa and the Pacific; the Americas; Asia and the Near East; Europe; and transregional. The chronological requirement is similarly divided into five segments: earliest times to 800; 800–1500; 1500–1800; 1800 to the present; and transchronological. A single course can fulfill both a geographical and a chronological requirement. Only classes originating in the History of Art department can fulfill the distribution requirements. 

Junior seminar The methods seminar  HSAR 401 , Critical Approaches to Art History, is a wide-ranging introduction to the practices of the art historian and the history of the discipline. It is to be taken during the fall or spring term of the junior year.

Credit/D/Fail courses Courses taken Credit/D/Fail may not be counted toward the requirements of the major.

Searchable attributes YC HSAR: Pre-800 ; YC HSAR: 800-1500 ; YC HSAR:1500-1880 ; YC HSAR: Post 1800 ; YC HSAR: Africa & Pacific; YC HSAR: Asia & Near East ; YC HSAR: Europe ; YC HSAR: The Americas ; YC HSAR: Transchron ; YC HSAR: Transregional

Senior Requirement

The senior essay is a research paper written usually in one term in HSAR 499 . Students choose their own topics, which may derive from research done in an earlier course. The essay is planned during the previous term in consultation with a qualified instructor and/or with the DUS. It is also possible to write a two-term senior essay, however students wishing to do so must submit a petition to the DUS and the prospective adviser, normally by the first week after spring break of the junior year.

Electives may include courses from other departments if they have direct relevance to the major program of study. Approval of the DUS is required.

History of Art majors are urged to study foreign languages. Students considering graduate work should discuss with their advisers the appropriate language training for their field of interest.

Graduate courses Courses in the Graduate School are open to undergraduates with permission of the instructor and of the director of graduate studies. Course descriptions are available in the History of Art office in the Jeffrey H. Loria Center, 190 York St.

Open Yale Courses

You are here, history of art.

The Department of the History of Art at Yale offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses in art, architecture, and visual culture in their social and historical contexts. These courses are not characterized by a single methodological approach, but by a commitment to the firsthand investigation of works of art and to theoretically sophisticated multidisciplinary analysis. The undergraduate curriculum includes courses on Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern European and American art, in addition to courses on pre-Columbian, African, and Asian art. Students are encouraged to make use of original materials at the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art. Learn more at http://arthistory.yale.edu

Slavic Languages and Literatures

The combined ph.d. program in history of art and slavic languages and literatures.

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers, in conjunction with the Department of the History of Art, a combined Ph.D. in History of Art and Slavic Languages and Literatures. The requirements are designed to emphasize the interdisciplinarity of the combined degree program. In many cases, they focus on the intersections of Russian art and literature, but can also be designed to accommodate students’ interests in other (non-Russian) Slavic, East European, or Eurasian traditions. For more information about the combined program and how to apply, contact the program adviser, Professor Molly Brunson.

Department of the History of Art

You are here, program requirements.

The study of art history ranges widely, from ancient cave paintings in Central Asia to new media installations in Manhattan. Students in art history classes can expect to look closely at works of art while also investigating the context of their production as well as the ways in which they have been interpreted and understood over time. Students can also expect to find themselves immersed in questions of politics, social institutions, religion, technology, material culture, and the city.

As one of the building blocks of the humanities, art history offers perspectives on the world of the image that enhance and sustain the liberal arts in general. Studying the nature of art and its many practices equally lays a foundation for an informed understanding of our increasingly visual and digital world.

THE HISTORY OF ART MAJOR

The discipline of art history encompasses the study of all forms of art, architecture, and visual culture. It is taught as a world discipline that includes art from different cultural and geographical regions of the globe and from all time periods in human history. The major in art history can serve either as a general program in the humanities or as the groundwork for more specialized training.

Twelve credits are required to complete the major: two introductory level courses; six intermediate- and advanced-level courses, two of which must be 400-level seminars; one methods seminar; two electives; and the senior essay.

100-level courses in the Introduction to History of Art series offer broad coverage of basic art history. Majors are required to take two of these core courses from a menu of up to four offerings depending on the curriculum plan for the academic year. Examples of 100-level courses include HSAR 110 Global Decorative Arts, 143 Buddhist Art and Architecture, 150 Art and Architecture of the Sacred.

Intermediate- and advanced-level courses offer more specialized surveys and themes in art history. These courses fall into one or more categories on the departmental distributional grid, which consists of intersecting geographical and chronological coordinates. Majors must take courses in a minimum of four distinct geographical categories and four distinct chronological categories. Each individual course may be counted in one geographical and one chronological category.

The methods seminar, Critical Approaches to Art History, is a wide-ranging introduction to the practices of the art historian and the history of the discipline.

Electives may include courses taken in other departments with relevance to the major program of study.

The senior essay is a research paper written usually in one term. In special cases a two-term senior essay may be approved by the DUS on petition.

History of Art majors are urged to study foreign languages. Students considering graduate work in European or American art should take German and another modern language related to their field of interest. Those planning to do graduate work in other fields should master the relevant languages as soon as possible.

WORKING WITH THE DUS

The Director of Undergraduate Studies, or DUS, offers advice and counseling to majors as they plan their individualized programs for completion of the major. The DUS works closely with students to develop course schedules that meet both departmental and university distributional requirements and the needs of students in pursuit of their own personal goals and projects. Students should feel free to contact the DUS who will make every effort to provide support and insure a productive outcome to pursuit of the major.

Graduate Study Areas

Graphic design (mfa).

The graphic design program focuses on the development of a cohesive, investigative body of work, also known as the student’s thesis. At Yale, the graphic design thesis is conceived as a loose framework within which each student’s visual method is deployed across many diverse projects during the two-year course of study. While every thesis project is unique, there are several common features: a focus on methodology, the application of a visual method to studio work, and the organization of the work in a thoughtfully argued written document and “Thesis Book.”

The individual collection of graphic design work by each student is supported on several levels simultaneously: studio work led by faculty meeting weekly; small six-person thesis groups meeting biweekly; individual sessions with writing and editing tutors; and lectures, presentations, and workshops.

Facilities The School of Art provides digital lab facilities however all graphic design students are expected to have their own personal computer. Each student has a designated work space in the design studio loft and has access to equipment including bookbinding materials, wide format printers, a RISO duplicator, Vandercook press, and work spaces in the School of Art buildings. More resources supporting interdisciplinary projects including motion capture and VR is available at the nearby Center for Collaborative Arts and Media. In addition, students draw on the extraordinary resources of Yale University courses, conferences, films, lectures, and museums, and especially the extensive research and rare book collections of Sterling, Haas, and Beinecke libraries.

Two-year and preliminary-year programs Each year, up to twelve students are admitted into the two-year graphic design program, and up to six students are admitted into the preliminary-year program. Two-year program students typically have a BFA in Graphic Design and are expected to have substantial and distinguished professional experience. Students applying to the preliminary-year program typically have relevant experience in a field of study outside design and demonstrate evidence of strong visual acuity. After successful completion of the preliminary year, these students automatically continue on in the two-year M.F.A. program.

Painting and Printmaking (MFA)

Instruction in the program is rooted in the investigation of painting as a unique genre with its own complex syntax and history. Within this setting, the program encourages diversity of practice and interpretation, innovation, and experimentation.

Approximately twenty-one students are admitted each year. At the core of instruction are individual and group critiques with faculty, visiting critics, and visiting artists. In addition, students participate in a variety of seminars taught by both faculty and critics. The study of printmaking is integrated into the painting program, and a student may concentrate in painting, printmaking, or a combination of the two.

Students work in individual 300-square-foot studios at 353 Crown Street adjacent to Green Hall. Students have access to a printmaking workshop in the Crown Street building, equipped with two etching presses and a lithography press, a fully equipped silkscreen facility, as well as digital resources available in the print studio, throughout the School, and at the Center for Collaborative Arts and Media.

42 credits in area of concentration, including ART 949a, and 18 additional credits, including a minimum of 6 academic credits in courses outside the School of Art.

Photography (mfa).

Photography is a two-year program of study admitting ten students a year. Darkroom, studio, and computer facilities are provided. Students receive technical instruction in black-and-white and color photography as well as nonsilver processes and digital image production.

The program is committed to a broad definition of photography as a lens-based medium open to a variety of expressive means. Students work both individually and in groups with faculty and visiting artists. In addition, a critique panel composed of faculty and other artists or critics meets weekly, as well as for a final review each term, to discuss student work.

Sculpture (MFA)

The sculpture program offers students the opportunity to develop their work in a supportive environment consisting of critical feedback in a broad array of diverse voices. The field of sculpture includes a varied collection of working methods and outcomes—one set of tools is not privileged over another—creating a healthy and experimental program that mirrors the issues facing artists outside of the institution. Students work independently in individual studio spaces and have access to common areas for the critique of their work. 36 Edgewood houses the sculpture program and has a woodworking shop, a metal shop, and a computer lab, while additional resources are offered by the School of Art and the University at large. No metal-casting or ceramic facilities are available.

The main focus of this program is to facilitate the development of conversation and constructive critique among students and faculty. Our aim is to articulate student work vis-à-vis its own trajectory and in relation to art history and the current moment. This conversation is formally structured to take place one-on-one between students and faculty, in small groups, and within a larger group involving the whole sculpture department.

Approximately ten students are admitted each year.

Studies in interdisciplinary media, as well as in film and video, are not formal areas of study in the School of Art; however, a number of students work primarily in film/video or interdisciplinary media while enrolled in other areas.

The School offers graduate video courses taught by practicing video artists. These classes address fundamental technical issues as well as the far more challenging questions of the contemporary practice of video by artists and this medium’s relation to other forms of art practice. Classes in video are taught in a variety of locations throughout the School of Art and are attended by students from all areas of study.
