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