Art History deals with the study and the analysis of the origin, symbolism, and meaning behind art objects such as paintings, sculptures, or architecture. This course focuses on what an existing work of art portrays at the time of its origin, leading to a better understanding of the history of civilisation. The course will help students understand themselves better by providing a better understanding of cultures and history in terms of customs, fundamentals, and legacies.

Analysing a piece of work necessitates paying close attention to details such as the colour and architectural aspects of a painting. This will reveal a wealth of information. These are the details that are also investigated by museums and art firms. They are also investigated in the event of them having been damaged. These skills of Art Historians are not only used in analysing art history but also in other disciplines like public relations, speech writing, and news reporting.

Artworks are also subjected to research in order to determine the cultural and historical elements of the objects. This will greatly benefit artists by providing a clearer understanding of the possible connections of artwork to various eras and various myths. Art historians also visit art museums around the world to explore the histories of different cultures in order to develop a global awareness that will benefit public relations, professionals, and even politicians.

Art History courses place an emphasis on critical thinking and the development of core skills such as informed and critical reading, writing, and speaking skills. Students study the art and architecture of cultures from all over the world and millennia. They learn how to approach objects in a variety of ways while focusing on the aesthetic, historical as well as social significance of the objects.
