AAH 283 - Ceramic Traditions of East Asia

Course Units: 1
(Not offered 2013-14) In East Asia, ceramic production achieves the status of high art, transcending its Eurocentric designation as a “decorative” or “applied” art. This course explores the interplay of form, glaze, and design among pottery traditions - from rustic earthenware to high-fired porcelain - in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Lectures and visits to museum collections will also consider the historical role of ceramics in cross-cultural exchanges within Asia and beyond, to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Western Europe, and the Americas.
