Visual Arts - Art History (Bachelor of Arts)

York University

The Visual Arts - Art History (BA) program curriculum focuses on modern and contemporary art, Canadian Art, Indigenous and settler art of the Americas, Asian art, western art and architecture, as well as art criticism and curatorial studies. Beyond the first year of study, students may choose to concentrate their studies on global art history, modern and contemporary art, or curatorial studies. The program emphasizes the relationship between visual art and its social contexts, including global cultural exchange. Students have access to original works of art to explore practical applications of museum and gallery studies.
