Nicholls professor hopes to make art more relevant to non-art students
A Nicholls State University professor hopes to make art and its study more accessible to those in other fields of study.
Dr. Ashley Busby said at a recent conference she does not believe art history has to put non-art majors to sleep.
Such was the discussion of a panel she presented at the Southeast College Art Conference hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University. The research came from her paper, “The Upper Level Fine Arts Survey: Interdisciplinary, Contemporary, and Thematic Approaches.”
Busby discussed two 300-level courses during the virtual panel, “The Art History Survey: How to Keep the Material Engaging for YOU.” One is a Nicholls Online cultural heritage art survey course, and the second a face-to-face art and science course.
