视觉艺术 Master of Arts (Visual Arts)

Some of the most intellectually engaging questions that we ask about our lives are brought about by encounters with works of art. Moreover, the world we live in is filled with a myriad of images that conveys a range of different, at times conflicting, ideas. How do we make sense of this complex body of materials and knowledge? In simple terms, the study of art history and visual culture can be described as a form of object-based or image-centered cultural history. The things we study as artworks or visual objects often reflect or shape the beliefs and values of the society who make, commissioned and used them.
