Visual Arts of the Americas (VAA)
School of Fine Art and Music
The Minor program in Visual Arts of the Americas enables students to study the art history of Canada, the United States, and Central and South America as an integrated field where certain basic conditions are shared: the existence of aboriginal traditions persisting from the pre-conquest period, the confrontation of a variety of European, African and Asian cultural heritages, and a continuing post-colonial evolution producing hybrid cultural identities.
This program of study is designed as a complement to a significant number of Major specialization, suitable for any student wishing to broaden their knowledge beyond their Major area of study.
