Description
This course examines the social, religious, and artistic functions of art forms in China, covering the period from the Bronze Age to contemporary times. With the emergence of new media, styles, and technologies, images and objects served as vehicles for social claims as well as personal expressions, leading to the formation of art historical discourses. Course topics examine the relationship between word and image, ritual art, political agendas of artworks, the indigenization of religious arts, the agency of artists, socioeconomic structures for art production, and cross-cultural exchange through artworks. Additionally, this course will incorporate hands-on experiences with objects, experiments with art materials, as well as visits to the library and museum collections.
