艺术史荣誉

艺术 historical scholarship engages with pressing societal issues regarding belief systems, identities, communities, institutions, and practices of oppression and resistance. 艺术 history also teaches visual literacy and critical thinking skills that are important for navigating our image-based world. 

The 艺术历史 department’s distinctive approach to Honors is designed to affirm 这些承诺. By taking the 1-信贷 course AH 373 in the fall of senior year and creating public-facing projects, Honors candidates extend their learning beyond the classroom and beyond requirements for the major. Their public-facing projects

• connect with broader audiences within and/or outside the Skidmore community;
• make scholarly research accessible and inclusive;
• affirm the social relevance of art history;
• emphasize how visual and material cultures shape lives;
• contribute to the production of reliable sources of public information.

Honors candidates are expected to demonstrate motivation, initiative, the ability to give and receive constructive criticism, the ability to work independently, and a sense of civic responsibility. This means not only doing excellent work in AH 373, but also taking full responsibility for executing high-quality projects outside the framework of a 信贷-bearing course.  

AH 373 supports project development during the 秋季学期. 一月毕业生 wish to be considered for Honors must execute their projects before the end of the 秋季学期. May graduates who wish to be considered for Honors may execute their projects at any time during the fall or spring semester.  

To submit a project for evaluation by the 艺术历史 faculty, please 填妥此表格. The form should be submitted as promptly as possible and no later than April 15. If your project involves a live event or will be accessible for a limited period of time, you are expected to submit the form at least two weeks in advance.
