Art History - Pratt Institute - Main

Art History from Pratt Institute - Main is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Philosophy Degrees in the Theory, Criticism , and History of Art , Design, and Architecture have been developed with a keen sense of Pratt\\\'s history as a technical school. In the context of a school long devoted to the practicing artist, designer, architect, and librarian, the historical perspective is attached to the concrete example, and theory is developed from the specific to the general. In Pratt\\\'s School of Art and Design (which relates closely to its School of Architecture), the definition of art history is broad. It includes design history of costumes, interiors, communications, industrial design, photography, film and animation, and urban design and planning, as well as the traditional chronological and geographical divisions of the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, and the graphic arts. These courses have been developed to respond to the needs of the art/design student and have much to offer in training art historians of the future.
