ARTH 327 - Image/Object: Material and Mediation in Chinese ArtFC ARHU CD WADV 4 credits This seminar explores Chinese art from three perspectives: material, technology, and circulation. Following a rough chronology, we will look at material properties (e.g. bronze, clay) and consider how artisans and artists exploited a medium’s inherent character and technological potential to achieve a desired appearance, and how material choices conveyed attitudes towards the dead or to the past. We will also consider attitudes towards antiquities and the circulation of objects as commodities. Prerequisites & Notes: A 200-Level Art History class or consent of the instructor.
