Description
Art historians and curators study transnational art and architecture, and field courses are an opportunity for students to experience art and architecture in person, to merge theory with practice. The site visits vary depending on the destination, but each trip offers and experiential learning environment which contextualizes historic and contemporary information through a critical lens. Field work could include studying art, architecture, curatorial installations, and participating in internships or practicum. Faculty guide students through a series of preparatory meetings, site visits, tours of museums, exhibitions, meeting artists and cultural workers. Course may be repeated for credit when topics vary.
Restrictions
Honours Form Required.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
