3.00 Credits
This survey course introduces non-Western cultural perspectives and artistic practices. Students will explore the major forms, styles, and purpose in the art and architecture of the Americas, Africa, India, China, Japan, Korea, and Australia and the Pacific Islands from prehistoric to contemporary periods. More than just studying the artworks themselves, students will gain an understanding of how these artworks are situated within the philosophical, religious, and political contexts of the cultures in which they were created. As a Western culture, American society often focuses on Western influences upon other (non-Western) cultures. When these "other" influences do affect American society, they are often unrecognized because they've been taken out of their original context (this type of attitude, it should be pointed out, is not confined only to Western cultures but occurs everywhere). Students will take a look at these relationships of influence and their positive and/or negative effects over time. Fieldtrips are a required course component. Prerequisties: Sophomore standing and AR 101, AR 212, AR 213, or permission of the instructor.
