The Solano Community College Art History program teaches creative problem-solving, critical thinking, reading, writing, and research skills, as students study the painting, sculpture, architecture, and other art forms of different artists, cultures, and eras. 

Art History students learn about a wide range of artistic styles, and explore how an artist’s cultural background, beliefs, and experiences influence the work they make. Students encounter the many facets of Art History, delving into controversial and challenging issues, and finding connections with a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, psychology, philosophy, ethnic studies, and social justice.  Students in the Art History program will also take hands-on studio courses to gain a deeper understanding of the creative process.  

Students in the Art History program may complete transfer requirements to the CSU system and UC system, as well as public and private universities both in and out of California, to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History.
