ART 275 - History of Chinese Painting

Institution:

Agnes Scott College

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces Chinese painting from the earliest traces of ink on silk to the present. Looking at figure, Buddhist, and landscape painting, we will trace the different purposes paintings have served; from spiritual tools to escapes for the mind to political protests. We will pay special attention to the materials, techniques, and formats used by Chinese painters. While studying the canonical works of Chinese painting, we will also include works by often-ignored groups such as women painters and craftsmen who reproduced painting in media such as woodblock print, textiles, and even porcelain.
