Art History is the study of the visual arts in civilization. It examines changing values in all fields of visual culture, including painting, sculpture, graphics, photography, architecture, film, the mass media, and forms of popular expression. Its interdisciplinary reach encompasses literature, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, gender studies, critical theory, and cultural studies. Art History emphasizes visual as well as verbal and written literacy, providing more than the standard advantages to a liberal arts education.
The Art History Club meets every Wednesday at 4:00 pm -5:00 pm in Everson 148
The Art and Art History Club is open to all art studio and art history majors, minors, and friends. Our purpose is to learn about and discuss all things relating to art and art history. We do this through open discussions at meetings, going on field trips to art museums and galleries, watching art-related movies, selling student-made art, and promoting art education. We are working hard to create an art community among UC Davis undergraduates.
An additional dance performance space with a sprung maple floor and flexible seating for as many as 65 people is located in Nelson Hall (formerly the University Club).
