| No way in hell. Art history is just memorization of specific styles, common themes, techniques, etc. from different eras. Then you use this knowledge to analyze works and their meaning by discussing certain references and determining why something was included in the work. Art history discussion is a lot of predictions, opinions, and fluff. I took an art history class and did really well by simply memorizing all aspects of the styles, eras, etc., and when I had to write essays I would mention the facts and then BS a lot. Art history majors might be more open-minded and able to see the big picture while having great BS skills when compared with engineers.
