Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Asian Studies This course begins with a study of the Neolithic period and its cord-impressed pottery, circa 2000 B.C.E., when Japanese cultural and aesthetic characteristics were already observable. Next, the great wave of Chinese influence is considered, including its impact on art, government, religion, and architecture. Subsequent periods of indigenous art-e.g., narrative scroll painting, medieval screen painting, Zen art, and ukiyo-e prints-are examined within the broader context of the social, artistic, and historical development of Japan.
