Art History, Design, and Computer Sciences Cognate
https://cola.unh.edu/art-art-history/program/cognate/art-history-design-computer-sciences
The cognate is for students to develop basic skills in art history and design as well as computer programming. The aim is for them to be able to apply programming skills to develop projects related to museum collections management and visitor experience, research projects, website design for cultural institutions, and art market intelligence and data transparency. Students will be encouraged to learn the basic concepts of art history and design and combine them in creative ways with emerging technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 3D modelling and more traditional website design. The aim is to give students a head start on how emerging technologies can come together with the art market as well as cultural heritage to help document, preserve, investigate and present it for future generations.
