What is Art History

The excitement of the discipline of Art History lies in its ability to embrace the related fields of aesthetics, art theory and art criticism, but it also requires the practitioner to have some knowledge of history, sociology, anthropology, theology, psychology, geography, science, literature, politics and economics. It is a discipline for those who possess or want to acquire a general knowledge about the world, its peoples, their societies, values, cultures, creativity and expertise.
