Ever walked into a museum or gallery and wished you knew how to really read what you were looking at? This course gives you the tools to engage with works of art on a deeper level.
You’ll build a working vocabulary of art history and museum terms, learn key concepts that support interpreting visual culture, and practice close observation, formal analysis, and critical thinking.
Through guided discussions, readings, and short writing assignments, you’ll explore how historical and cultural contexts shape the meaning and reception of art—while building the skills and confidence to interpret any artwork you encounter.
