This course will introduce major themes in art from early formations of Asian civilizations to the twenty-first century, and investigate the various forms of art production and cultures in the region, including China, Japan and Southeast Asia. MA students will select one of the foundational UG lecture courses on offer either in Semester I or II and enroll at the graduate level. MA students will be expected to attend lectures and participate as normally expected at the undergraduate level, but in addition will be required to produce more advanced coursework and to attend special tutorials as arranged by individual instructors.
