22. ART HISTORY
Definitions, Methods, and

development and stylistic
context of the objects of arts
that includes the major and
minor arts. The major arts
include painting, sculpture, and
architecture as well as the minor
arts like ceramics, furniture,
and other decorative arts.

24. art history
As a term, art history or history
of art encompasses the different
methods of studying visual art.
As a discipline, art history is
not similar to art criticism. Art
criticism determines the
relative artistic values of an
individual work in comparison
with others of comparable style.

25. Methods used in art history
1.) Art historians examine the works of art in the context
of its time or within which it was created.
2.) Art historians analyze the works of arts through
analysis of their forms.
3.) Art historians also use critical theory in analyzing
objects of arts when dealing with more recent objects.
4.) Another method in art history is the application of
media and digital technology.

26. Purpose of art history
1.) To place art in a social and historical context.
2.) It has more advantage over art appreciation when evaluating
works of art. The more information an evaluation has on the works
of art, the better an evaluation he can make over the works of art.
3.) When a person has more context when looking at something such as
piece of art work, he could better understand more the story behind
that particular piece of art work,
4.) To see how things like war, religion, politics, technological
change haveeffect not only on the artist but on the artwork that was
produced.
