ART THEORY AND CRITICISM MINOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM (ARTTC-MINOR)

  Diploma Area Advisor: Ahu Antmen

The minor program in Art Theory and Criticism is designed to provide students with an understanding of the Visual Arts within a historical, social, and cultural framework through an engagement with history, theory, research projects, and study visits. Focused primarily on the modern and contemporary era, it aims to lay the grounds for future engagement in the arts at various levels, from artist, critic, and curator to learned audience. Merging an interdisciplinary array of knowledge from Art History, Visual Culture, Philosophy, Psychology, and Cultural and Gender Studies, , students are given the critical tools to broaden their command and appreciation of a vast circulation of cultural practice disseminated through an arts industry that includes museums, exhibition venues, biennials, print publishing, and digital distribution. Hence the program not only serves as a complement to the Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Undergraduate Program but is also open to students coming from all areas of knowledge interested in becoming confident to engage with artistic innovation.
