Department of Art and Art History

In Art courses, we focus on the individual student's experiential development of the imagination and creative thinking processes as an integrating force in the liberal arts curriculum. Art History courses introduce a range of cultures and media, and provide the disciplinary grounding for the study and interpretation of art.

All of our courses in Art and Art History emphasize the study of original works of art in some of Washington’s outstanding galleries and museums; they also exploit contemporary technologies to expand students’ access to sources for learning around the world.

Reflecting the mission of Georgetown University, the Art and Art History programs aim to educate the whole person.
