- 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.
