FA 0621 - ART OF CHINA


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Notwithstanding the title, the purpose of this course is to introduce students to the rich artistic and cultural traditions of Asia as a whole, but particularly India, China, and Japan.  By necessity, this course takes a broad approach, yet singular monuments of great importance will receive intense study, such as the Great Stupa at Sanchi, the Taj Mahal, the Forbidden City and the great Shinto Shrine at Ise.  Other major topics include Chinese bronze ritual objects, Hindu architecture, Chinese scroll painting, and Japanese prints.
