Course Description:
This course surveys 5,000 years of East Asian history and culture through the close analysis of 40 primary artworks. Classes are generally presented in chronological order, and provide a selection of major and minor artistic traditions from China, Korea, and Japan from pre-history to the 21st century. Each class focuses on two objects, and will emphasize the connection between close looking and big ideas, including transcultural exchange, religion, materiality, empire, class, and globalism. As such, this course addresses the basic contribution of art history to the humanities by demonstrating how individual art objects provide evidence for arguments about the cultures of the past. |
