Art History is a class in which you learn to analyze art. You also learn the history behind said art. It is considered a fairly easy class to take in College. If you put forth an effort, you'll actually learn the basics of analyzing art though.
Most people do not take into consideration just how boring it can be.

You are looking up Art History on Urban Dictionary because you are trying to do an Art History paper and are bored out of your mind.

1.) The most useless major next to Philosophy (with about the same number of pretentious douchebags enrolled as well).
2.) A class to take if you wish to be semi-educated in art without having to put in the effort required to effectively hone an artistic craft.

The majority of my Intro. to Art History class last semester was filled with hipsters who were obsessed with Andy Warhol, Lomography, and Juxtapoz Magazine.

the most useless major ever. In an art history class, you will find bums, starbucks-loving-hippies, and the smell of 3 day old sperm. They will be complaining that they got a job for $12k a year pay, when it is their fault they were too lazy to apply themselves to real world applications. We don't give a shit about piccasso.
Art History Teacher: "Welcome to Art History 101. We will study and analyze the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, Picasso, and the late Duke of England....."
Liberal Student: "That will be so neat. I will make fortunes selling my own paintings to Bill Gates."
Me: *snoring and falling asleep*

art history is a fucking liberal arts class i fucking have to take if i want to fucking graduate. fuck. art history is a class for martial arts instructors to teach in their spare time (which is all the time apparently) and then they act all weird and fucking demonstrate neck grabs and act creepy in class, while showing 2 slides in 3 hours and asking me "where does it start," to which i reply, "what the fuck are you fucking talking about, you stupid twat."

The most uselss major on earth, mostly taken by people who have no artistic ability but still want to be considered artist.
Art history major: ahh I love the arts but can't draw
Engineer major: you piece of shit
Art history major: you're so closed minded

the combination of two useless subjects made into an even more useless and unnecessarily hard class by the evil corporation Collegeboard. curriculum is terrible and 90% of writing assignments will be straight yapping.
Person 1: form, function, content, context, artist, place of origin, movement, style
Person 2: What's going on with you?
Person 1: Oh I'm just studying a piece for AP Art History
Person 2: Okay... but how many colleges actually accept that credit again?
