Why Study Art? TED Talks may have the answer...


Our AP Art History course allows us to study history through the lens of art. It fulfills an high school graduation requirement. You are working toward earning college credit when you take the AP Test in May.

If the information we study is of interest to you, what can you do with it? I am an example of being an Art History major and using it to teach. You can also follow it into becoming a curator, museum director, development director at a museum, museum educator or gallery owner. Additional studies will enhance your ability to get a job. Some Art History majors get legal degrees or law enforcement degrees and seek out and/or prosecute stolen art.

If you enjoy Art and Chemistry you might go into restoration.

If you are interested in Art and Business, you can look into advertising and marketing.

There are many career paths that one may take that involve art, not the creation of art but the understanding of it!
