mpardo@email.unc.edu
Associate Professor Mary Pardo serves as the Undergraduate Advisor for
art history, and is also co-director of the UNC Rome Summer Program, an
undergraduate honors study abroad. She earned her PhD at the University
of Pittsburgh, concentrating on Art Criticism and Theory of the Italian
Renaissance. Throughout her career, she has been continuously intrigued
by word and image relationships, a theme that has influenced many of
her academic projects, including her current study of relations between
images of love, and art in religious worship during the Renaissance.
She has also found this theme to be especially fruitful in a broader
scope when used as groundwork for the study and teaching of world art
in undergraduate, first year seminars.
Teaching is an essential aspect of Dr. Pardo's career as her
pedagogical aim is to learn from her students as well as to instruct.
Her courses attempt to provide themes which serve as venues for sharing
and learning. Courses taught in the past by Dr. Pardo range from those
centered on specific artists, themes of Civic Art in Italian
Renaissance centers, and Practice and Theory themes which focus on
art-making techniques and the theories surrounding them.
Among the topics Dr. Pardo has written on, Venetian art and culture
have been explored in several ways including the comparison of poetry
and painting in connection with the Venetian Renaissance. She has also
published on the topic of the art and theory of Leonardo da Vinci.
