ART150B2

This course will introduce students to Asian art and visual culture, focusing on the art and architecture of South, Southeast, and East Asia. Students will explore the artistic and cultural traditions of these areas, beginning in ancient times and continuing up to the 19th century, and they will gain a deeper understanding of Asian world-views, life styles, and related cultural practices and traditions. Students then are expected to apply this fundamental understanding to examining Asian arts, crafts, cultural practices, and aspects of popular culture that are ubiquitous and observable in current U. S. contexts.
