This course is an introduction to East Asian civilization through
selected examples of its visual arts. These is no prerequisite or
previous knowledge assumed. It is not an historical survey, but rather
a course designed to introduce students, through the examination of
various artistic genres, to the distinctive aesthetic traditions of
China, Korea, and Japan—their similarities and differences—and
to convey a sense of the beauty and meaning of the artifacts, and
of the cultural contexts out of which they emerged.
