In contemporary times, there is a virtual invasion of visuals and images. In order to understand the obvious and subliminal connotations behind any image or visual which is available for television screens, webpages, magazines, cinema, art galleries, art exhibitions and even mobile phone applications one cannot ignore the importance of a thorough understanding of the discipline of Art History. This discipline deals with the paintings, sculpture and architecture created by individuals in the past to the art and visual culture of contemporary times. Besides offering historical contexts of the artworks, it also offers a great deal of technical knowledge necessary for the critical awareness of different art forms. It offers careers not only in areas ike art curation, art law, art conservation and restoration, visual resources management, archaeology, architecture, historical preservation but it also provides an understanding in various areas of Media Sciences, like cinematography, art direction, direction, advertising and film criticism.
