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:
This lecture is completely online in an asynchronous format. There are no scheduled meeting 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.
