Art History
A broad understanding of the movements in the visual practices from the beginning of man until
the present. Some focused studies on Chinese art. Also a look at the critical understandings of
art from antiquity to now (Greenberg, Adorno, Brecht, Barthes and many others). Also a focused
study on the history of photography. And independent studies on the growth of the visual
language spurred on by industry and business. Continue to study critical practices, and keep up
on the current directions that art is exploring.

Art History
A broad understanding of the movements in the visual practices from the beginning of man until
the present. Some focused studies on Chinese art. Also a look at the critical understandings of
art from antiquity to now (Greenberg, Adorno, Brecht, Barthes and many others). Also a focused
study on the history of photography. And independent studies on the growth of the visual
language spurred on by industry and business. Continue to study critical practices, and keep up
on the current directions that art is exploring.
