Art History

Native Art
Mary Goodwin, Art History professor in her office.

Art History classes increase the student's understanding of art, cultures, and societies. Art History inquires into the relationship between visual images and the personal, social, and historical issues that shape culture. The UAF Rasmuson Library and the UA Museum of the North provide resources for historical research and curatorial investigations.
