ARTH 2212 East Asian Art and Architecture
This course surveys the visual and material culture of China, Korea, and Japan from Neolithic to present times. We will address a wide range of topics, including ancient tombs, Buddhist icons, landscape paintings, imperial palaces, tea culture, and contemporary art. Particular attention will be paid not only to the physical forms of these objects and buildings, but also to their makers, users, and audiences, as well their historical, religious, and social functions. Students will be introduced to various art historical methodologies and will deepen their knowledge about one aspect of East Asian art and architectural history through a substantial research project.
