Join art historian Melanie King for a continuation of the introductory to East Asian visual culture workshops. These 90-minute, stand-alone sessions will each have a unique focus and are intended for people new to East Asian art history or people looking for a refresher course. During each session we will spend time exploring artistic, historical, and cultural aspects pertinent to each topic with time for discussion and consideration of classroom application.
Participants can choose to attend at least one of the following sessions:
Burial objects and other things found in tombs – April 23
Introduction to the visual culture of Shinto – April 30
Art of the Heian period – May 7
Introduction to the visual culture of Chan/Seon/Zen and Pureland Buddhism – May 14
