2 Enduring Understanding Studying art history promotes our understanding of the development of events within cultures. Art History reflects the time period, culture, geography, and status of a region s inhabitants. Studying over centuries, art has been an aesthetic expression of an emotional response to a social, political, or environmental influence. Art history helps us gain insight into the human experience of various cultures. While aesthetic interpretations may vary from culture to culture, region to region, and genre to genre, many artists have explored the same experiences and ideas. The process of reflection enables one to understand and appreciate art. Art can be used to record what one sees as well as what one feels and believes. Artists of different cultures express common ideas in different ways. Art is a distinct form of communication that enriches the understanding of other disciplines such as music.
