Faculty Art History Area Overview

Established as a formal academic discipline in the 19th century, art history has evolved into a dynamic area of study that addresses every aspect of art and visual culture, from aesthetic form to broader social and historical contexts. At UH, art history students are encouraged to develop fully their skills in the critical analysis of art and visual culture, and to communicate their insights effectively through writing and oral discourse. The art history classroom is complemented by the extensive resources of the Houston museum and art communities, with ample opportunities for art history students to obtain valuable internships.

Art history faculty members teach a wide range of courses and specialized seminars in their areas of research. Subjects regularly taught by the five full-time faculty include: Pre-Columbian Art; Medieval Art; Northern Renaissance and Baroque Art; 19th through 21st-century American Art; the History of Photography; African American Art; and American Women Artists. Affiliate instructors enrich these offerings with additional courses: Issues in Contemporary Art; 18th, 19th, and 20th-century European Art; Italian Art and Design; Italian Renaissance Art; Ancient Greco-Roman Art; and Ancient Near-Eastern Art

or the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography

The curriculum in photography requires 122 credit hours; its purpose is to encourage the study of photographic media for personal expression, to explore the social implications of pictures, and to develop the skills needed for careers in photography. General art requirements and electives provide a broad foundation in the visual arts, and photography courses provide a strong background in the history, theory, and practice of photography as art.

This major prepares students for a wide range of careers in photography by providing a solid grounding in traditional photography and digital imaging. In the sophomore year, students receive in-depth training in craft and ideas fundamental to photographic imaging. Technical exercises emphasize electronic imaging as well as traditional black-and-white and color processes. The curriculum covers both descriptive photography and more experimental manipulated image-making.

During the junior year, students consider photographic forms beyond the traditional print, such as the photographic book, non-silver processes, and installation work. Large-format photography and studio practice with its control of artificial lighting are also part of the junior curriculum. In both the junior and senior years, students may pursue the study of specialized interests on an elective basis, including illustration and editorial photography, photojournalism, environmental portraiture, creative portfolio development, advanced digital imaging, and professional practice.

The senior year is primarily devoted to the production of an independent body of work of the student’s own choosing and direction. The senior thesis provides the opportunity to begin the process of self-definition as photographer and artist. A required junior-level course in photographic criticism, coupled with required classes in the history of photography, exemplifies the strong emphasis that the department places on critical thinking and self-expression in words as well as through photographs.

Photography is another aspect of the Art Program at UDC. The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program is based on the premise that a solid foundation in technical skills and the development of aesthetic awareness will help the photographer develop a personal creative style with the camera. The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program provides students with marketable skills, increases awareness of the history of photography and visual culture, exposes students to both commercial and artistic applications of photography, inspires collaboration among student photographers, and serves as an artistic resource for the community.

The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program prepares students for work as exhibiting fine art photographers, commercial photographers, photojournalists, teaching and photography instructors, and as artists working with government agencies that utilize and promote photography.

Members of the Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program faculty have participated in extensive local, national, and international gallery exhibits. Faculty members also have wide experience in commercial photography. The Interdisciplinary Art Program also manages Gallery 42, a non-profit art gallery for exhibitions of both professional and student artwork and photography.
