This course examines the art and architecture of China, Japan and Korea. Lectures will survey East Asian art chronologically and thematically, beginning with Neolithic ceramics and ending with developments in Buddhist and secular art and architecture in the 9th and 10th centuries. We will be concerned throughout with issues pertinent to the wider study of visual and material culture, including the interpretation of meaning from objects and images; the relationship between archaeology and modern nationalism; cultural interconnections and the diversity of individual cultural traditions; reflections of social stratification in material culture; issues of style and artistic intent; and the interplay between literary, visual, and performative artistic production.

This course examines the art and architecture of China, the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula. Lectures will survey East Asian art chronologically and thematically, from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in China, the Heian Period (794-1185) in Japan, and the Koryo Dynasty (918-1392) in Korea, through recent developments. We will examine both canonical works of art and architecture, as well as popular visual culture and "folk" art production. We will be concernedthroughout with issues pertinent to the broader study of visual and material culture, including the meaning(s) expressed by or derived from objects and images; transnational influences and cultural hybridity in art production; the artistic contributions of regional and ethnic minorities and women; material and visual culture as a reflection of and legitimation for social stratification; art as a forum for social protest and change; issues of style and artistic intent; the interplay between material, visual, and performative art forms; and the relationship between art and cultural identity.

3.00 Credits
Arth 201 and Arth 202 make up a yearlong course that provides an in-depth examination of the development of the art object from prehistoric to modern times; this course is designed for students seeking greater academic challenge in the field of art history than is available in the standard introductory 101 course. Students will approach the material on several levels: through lecture classes held jointly with Art 101/102; through an 80-minute weekly discussion section based on a seminar model and including student-led discussions and seminal readings in the field and, most important, through a spring trip to New York City led by both faculty and students and intended to emphasize the significance of the study of original works of art and architecture. Because of the advanced nature of this course, an additional half credit is offered to students enrolled each semester, for a total of one additional credit for the year.
