Abstract: This research investigates the dynamic evolution of pedagogical approaches within Western art history education, analyzing trends, confronting challenges, and envisioning future directions. Through a comprehensive review of literature, historical analyses, and contemporary case studies, the study traces the trajectory of art history pedagogy from traditional lecture-based formats to more interactive and inclusive methodologies. It explores the impact of technological advancements, shifts in academic discourse, and changing student demographics on the teaching and learning of Western art history. Furthermore, the research delves into the challenges faced by educators, including the need to reconcile canonical narratives with diverse perspectives, address issues of accessibility and inclusivity, and adapt to the digital landscape. By synthesizing insights from educational theory, art historical scholarship, and institutional practices, this study aims to illuminate key trends shaping the field and propose strategies for fostering innovative, equitable, and engaging approaches to Western art history pedagogy in higher education contexts.
