Course Catalog Description:
This one-semester course is an introduction to painting, sculpture, and architecture from South, Southeast, and East Asia. It will cover works from ancient cultures to those of contemporary Asian diasporas. Resisting the impossible task of covering everything, we will instead home in on specific objects in order to understand them in their broader cultural, religious, and social contexts. We will trace the ways in which common themes and problems appear in different art forms and in different places, and we will discover the ways in which seemingly disparate styles and objects may be productively understood in conversation with each other. We will work together to create an interpretive model that is synthetic, critical, and appreciative of the enormously diverse field that is Asian Art. Lectures will move from explanatory descriptions of objects and histories that are covered in the textbook to critical interpretations of the historiographies that shape the contemporary reception of Asian art.
Class Notes:
Lectures for this course will be held exclusively online and asynchronously. 100% of instruction is online with no in-person meetings. Exams are also all online. Discussion Sections for this course will be held online once per week, and attendance is mandatory. Students and instructors must be online for the discussion sections at the same time, at scheduled dates and times. This class meets the Historical Perspective (HIS) Liberal Education (LE) requirement. Writing Intensive.
Class Description:
The survey introduces the art and material culture of pre-20th century Asia (with the exception of the Middle East and Islam). Select artistic traditions in South, Southeast, and East Asia are considered against their religious, socio-political, and other cultural contexts. Major themes include (1) the rise of civilizations,
(2) developments of various artistic forms and media, (3) the spread of Buddhism across the region, and (4) trans-cultural relations.

Designed as a Writing Intensive curricular that satisfies the "Historical Perspectives" requirement (LE), students are to complete a writing project that combines their critical reading of primary art-historical sources with their fieldwork to a local museum.

Lectures will move from explanatory descriptions of objects and histories that are covered in the textbook to critical interpretations of the historiographies that shape the contemporary reception of Asian art.
Class Description:
The survey introduces the art and material culture of pre-20th century Asia (with the exception of the Middle East and Islam). Select artistic traditions in South, Southeast, and East Asia are considered against their religious, socio-political, and other cultural contexts. Major themes include (1) the rise of civilizations,
(2) developments of various artistic forms and media, (3) the spread of Buddhism across the region, and (4) trans-cultural relations.

Designed as a Writing Intensive curricular that satisfies the "Historical Perspectives" requirement (LE), students are to complete a writing project that combines their critical reading of primary art-historical sources with their fieldwork to a local museum.

This one-semester course is an introduction to painting, sculpture, and architecture from South, Southeast, and East Asia. It will cover works from ancient cultures to those of contemporary Asian diasporas. Resisting the impossible task of covering everything, we will instead home in on specific objects in order to understand them in their broader cultural, religious, and social contexts. We will trace the ways in which common themes and problems appear in different art forms and in different places, and we will discover the ways in which seemingly disparate styles and objects may be productively understood in conversation with each other.

We will trace the ways in which common themes and problems appear in different art forms and in different places, and we will discover the ways in which seemingly disparate styles and objects may be productively understood in conversation with each other. We will work together to create an interpretive model that is synthetic, critical, and appreciative of the enormously diverse field that is Asian Art. Lectures will move from explanatory descriptions of objects and histories that are covered in the textbook to critical interpretations of the historiographies that shape the contemporary reception of Asian art.
Class Notes:
Lectures for this course will be held exclusively online and asynchronously. 100% of instruction is online with no in-person meetings. Exams are also all online. Discussion Sections for this course will be held online once per week, and attendance is mandatory. Students and instructors must be online for the discussion sections at the same time, at scheduled dates and times. This class meets the Historical Perspective (HIS) Liberal Education (LE) requirement. Writing Intensive.
Class Description:
The survey introduces the art and material culture of pre-20th century Asia (with the exception of the Middle East and Islam). Select artistic traditions in South, Southeast, and East Asia are considered against their religious, socio-political, and other cultural contexts. Major themes include (1) the rise of civilizations,
(2) developments of various artistic forms and media, (3) the spread of Buddhism across the region, and (4) trans-cultural relations.

Designed as a Writing Intensive curricular that satisfies the "Historical Perspectives" requirement (LE), students are to complete a writing project that combines their critical reading of primary art-historical sources with their fieldwork to a local museum.

Resisting the impossible task of covering everything, we will instead home in on specific objects in order to understand them in their broader cultural, religious, and social contexts. We will trace the ways in which common themes and problems appear in different art forms and in different places, and we will discover the ways in which seemingly disparate styles and objects may be productively understood in conversation with each other. We will work together to create an interpretive model that is synthetic, critical, and appreciative of the enormously diverse field that is Asian Art. Lectures will move from explanatory descriptions of objects and histories that are covered in the textbook to critical interpretations of the historiographies that shape the contemporary reception of Asian art.
Class Notes:
This section is completely online in a synchronous format. The section will meet online at the scheduled times.
Class Description:
The survey introduces the art and material culture of pre-20th century Asia (with the exception of the Middle East and Islam). Select artistic traditions in South, Southeast, and East Asia are considered against their religious, socio-political, and other cultural contexts. Major themes include (1) the rise of civilizations,
(2) developments of various artistic forms and media, (3) the spread of Buddhism across the region, and (4) trans-cultural relations.

Designed as a Writing Intensive curricular that satisfies the "Historical Perspectives" requirement (LE), students are to complete a writing project that combines their critical reading of primary art-historical sources with their fieldwork to a local museum.

South, Southeast, East Asian art/material culture from Neolithic Age to twentieth century.
Class Description:

This interdisciplinary course of art history and archaeology introduces Asian art and material culture from prehistory to the contemporary era. Artistic production, as a central issue in art history, is usually analyzed in terms of individual media, with the result that its whole picture often becomes elusive. This course will explore artifacts in a variety of media, including ceramic, jade, metal, painting, calligraphy, and ephemeral arts, and the interplay among them. This course encourages students to explore not only an artwork's own history but also the history beyond it. Students are expected to think each artwork as the embodiment of the complex socio-cultural history of the period, in which they were produced. Students will learn how artworks could be a useful tool for understanding past societies.
