Digital Humanities Methods in Art History

Otto Luna and Ivo van der Graff
Thursday, April 16 at 12:40 p.m.

Professor Ivo van der Graaff and Digital Resources Curator Otto Luna, from the Department of Art & Art History, will discuss their experience co-teaching a digital art history methods course in Spring 2025. Designed as a hands-on, active learning experience, the course engaged students directly in applying digital humanities methods. Throughout the semester, students worked with a range of tools and approaches, including the digitization and cataloging of works of art from the UNH collection, mapping artwork provenance using ArcGIS, conducting text analysis with Voyant Tools, creating data visualizations of museum data with Tableau, and creating 3D models of works of art via photogrammetry. The presenters will reflect on both the positive outcomes of the course and the challenges encountered.
