Art History Writing Lab

The Art History writing lab runs from September–April and offers workshops and one-on-one tutoring sessions to help students with idea development, writing, and editing art history papers. The writing lab operates under the direction of Dr. Colin Murray.

Get help with:

  • organizing and structuring ideas for different kinds of writing assignments (research essays, visual analyses, essay reviews, catalogue entries, etc.)
  • writing an effective introduction and conclusion in art history (they’re more important than you think)
  • identifying recurring issues in your writing, like grammar, word choice, and syntax
  • improving your citation mechanics: when to include footnotes or endnotes, how to format your citations, and what other information can be included in notes
  • improving your notetaking practices when reading
  • explaining what you’ve read in your own words
  • writing effective slide IDs and comparisons on tests
  • expanding your vocabulary for visual analysis
  • structuring seminar presentations
