Question
Define and discuss the terms "history" and "art history" What is the role of subjectivity in the ostensibly "objective" disciplines? Why do we study them and what we can learn by doing so?

My teacher wants us to interview people that are familiar with art history and to get responses to the following uestions and for us to see how the answeres vary.

Answer
You need to actually interview (inter=two people  view=see)
people, as the answers to this are far too long to type out in a monologue.  Your instructor wants you to talk to people and question them as they talk and then write up what you came away with.
