Topics and Scope

Lecture and discussion material:

A. How to approach Art: world approaches to art, including the

approaches of realism, formalism, and content.

B. Renaissance and Reformation in Europe: How the messages of changing

religions and the monarchies of the 16th century were expressed in the

art of the Papal States, the Hapsburg Empire, and the new kingdoms of

northern Europe. Interrelationships and interdependencies of these

regions as reflected in the art.

C. The Islamic Empires: How the mosques, palaces, and manuscripts of

16th century Ottoman Turkey, Safavid Iran, and Moghul India express a

new nationalism in the wake of the declining Mongol khanates.

Connections with Renaissance Europe.

D. After the Mongols in East Asia: Recovery and decline in Ming China.

Art and architecture of the Forbidden City. Militarism and isolation

in Tokugawa Japan: Castles and tea houses of the shogunate.

E. Impact of European Imperialism:  How the tradition of arts in

America, Africa, and Asia were changed by European contacts, including

decline, destruction, replacement, modification, assimilation, and

renewal. Examples: Spanish conquest of the Aztecs in Mexico and the

Incas in Peru; English colonization in North America, Russian conquests

in Siberia, Portuguese contacts with the Kingdom of Benin (Nigeria)

and the Bushongo Kingdom (Zaire); Portuguese missionaries in India and

Japan, Portuguese merchants in Goa; English and French merchants in

India; Dutch conquest of Indonesia.

F. Art of the Great Monarchies of Europe: How imperial revenues funded

the arts of Europe in the period 1650-1800. Examples: Versailles in

France, Schonbrunn in Austria, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

G. Art of the Newly Dominant Middle Classes: How the art of the 19th

century in Europe and Asia reflects its changing patronage. Examples:

Neoclassicism to Romanticism and Impressionism, Japanese screens to

the woodblock prints of Edo Japan.

H. Globalization in the 20th century: How the arts reflect the increasing

globalization of world culture since World War I. Examples: international

styles in painting (Cubism) and architecture (the International Style).

I. Art of the Future: Continued globalization. Government-funded

architecture. Examples: Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Gae Aulenti's

renovation of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.

Assignments:

A. Read assigned portions of the textbooks in preparation for class

discussions of issues concerning world art that may include issues of

pluralism and multiculturalism, westernization, gender issues,

religion and belief or symbolic culture. Between 35-70 pages per week.

B. Research and write a term paper, of a minimum of 1,000 words,

using the process of aesthetic analysis to analyze the forms of a

work, and selecting one of the studied methods of approach to research

the content. The work of art may be of any period or place.

C. Take two midterms and a final, each consisting of slide

identifications, questions on cultural context, and definitions of

terms. The slides and cultural context questions will be drawn from

the reading assignments, class discussions, and class lectures.
