Course Description:
This course offers both a historical survey of Chinese painting and an opportunity to critique the survey model through self-directed scholarship in the sub-fields of Chinese painting history, including perception, materiality, gender, patronage, ethnicity, etc. The semester is split into two halves. For the survey half, students use a textbook to gain broad knowledge of the tools, formats, and schools of Chinese painting history. For the topics half, students form small study groups and lead mini-conferences on their topics. In this way, the course emphasizes the skills of self-guided scholarship, close reading, critical thinking, and public presentation.
