The document summarizes key concepts in art history, including definitions of art and what art history studies. It outlines assumptions that art is an essential human activity, form of communication, and discipline with its own language and rules. Works of art both bear meaning and are shaped by beliefs and cultures. The type of analysis of a work includes its physical material and process, formal visual elements, and historical context. Art history helps process, organize, and understand the world of images while building global connections and critical thinking about history and culture. Art history is ultimately interdisciplinary and dynamic as new evidence and questions emerge over time.
