ARTH 16100 - Art of Asia:China

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces the arts of China. We focus on the bronze vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese appropriation of the Buddha image, and the evolution of landscape and figure painting traditions. We also consider objects in contexts (from the archaeological sites from which they were unearthed to the material culture that surrounded them) to reconstruct the functions and the meanings of objects, as well as to better understand Chinese culture through the objects it produced.
