艺术(B.F.A.)

This course surveys the art of “Non-Western” societies from prehistory to the present. 讨论的文化包括南亚和东南亚, 中国和日本, 非洲, cultures of the Americas (Pre-Conquest and Native American). The term “Non-Western” traditionally refers to cultures that initially developed outside the realm of Western culture and at some distance from the European artistic tradition. The term is not only excessively broad but also problematic, 因为它暗示着对西方艺术的反对. 我们将探讨这些问题.

It also considers the impact of colonization and globalization on the treatment of artworks from non-western cultures and the development of new art forms.

This course is a general survey of artworks of “western” cultures from prehistory to the present. “Western” typically designates art produced in Europe or the Americas in the European tradition, 但这个术语有时可能不精确，而且存在问题. 我们将探讨其中的原因.

We will typically discuss artworks in roughly chronological order. Ultimately students will learn the range of artworks produced by each culture, 这些艺术品是如何制作的, 为什么他们看起来是这个样子, 以及它们的作用. They will also develop the skills to analyze, discuss, write about the visual arts.
