  • CN 250: Topics

    1.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    Blocks 1 - 4: Topics: The Art of Chinese and Painting. (Also listed as Asian Studies 250.) .25 unit - Tu. Blocks 5 - 8: Topics: The Art of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting. This course will introduce students to the origin and history of Chinese calligraphy and to the interrelationship between Chinese calligraphy and painting - including bamboo, orchid, and bird painting. This is a hands-on course; students are expected to practice Chinese calligraphy several times a week, to get to know how to use Chinese brushes and charcoal ink, and to develop an understanding of Chinese art and culture through brushwork. (Also listed as Asian Studies 250.) .25 unit - Tu. Block 6: Topics: Modernity and Sexuality in Chinese Literature and Film. This course will investigate how two modern concepts of Modernity and Sexuality, joined in a cultural debate over two significant historical and literary periods (the May Fourth and the post-Mao periods), have informed the change in Chinese subjectivity and life style through reading representative literary works, personal accounts, films and scholarly studies. Additionally, since the fifth-generation of Chinese filmmakers have pushed contemporary Chinese cinema into a international award-winning industry, this course will try to figure out how the international cinematic language and market influence Chinese filmmakers' film making, and their reinterpretation and reinvention of China's literature and history. (Also listed as Asian Studies 250.) 1 unit - Jiang. Block 7: Topics: China Cultural Heritage. This is an introductory and interdisciplinary course on Chinese civilization and traditional Chinese literature. The excellent film series "China: The Enduring Heritage" (20 minutes) has been adopted as an integral part of this course. Together with our core class lectures, these films help facilitate a holistic approach to culture, allowing the incorporation of literature, philosophy, religion, and science side-by-side with the fine arts, presenting an image of Chinese culture as the totality of a people's humanistic experience. Students are encouraged to ask questions freely to stimulate class discussion. Study questions will be distributed ahead of time for your preparation. (Also listed as Asian Studies 250.) 1 unit - Department.

  • CO 118: Order and Chaos in Art

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado College

    Since very early in the history of the Western philosophical tradition and up to the present, art has often been debated in terms of order versus chaos, and has been considered a privileged arena on which to probe ethical questions. The border between what is beautiful and what is good is a fertile ground for students beginning a liberal arts education. In addition to sharpening an awareness of the fact that even such intimate feelings as the aesthetic experience are theoretically constructed, students will be encouraged to articulate different approaches to account for the artistic phenomenon. An important connection between things personal and things political will come to the fore. Students will be introduced to the thoughts and works of major Western philosophers and poets, from Plato and Aristotle, Nietzsche, Kant and Schiller, and Baudelaire, Gide, and Thoreau. Students will record their personal reflections on art objects and will be encouraged to present them to a community of peers, both in short papers circulated within the class and in class presentations to which other classes will be invited. (A First Year Experience offering, Blocks 5-6. Enrollment is limited to entering first-year students.) Prerequisite: First years Only. (Not offered 2008-09.) 2 units.
