This course surveys the art of “Non-Western” societies from prehistory to the present. Cultures discussed include South and Southeast Asia, 中国和日本, 非洲, and 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, because it implies an opposition to western art. 我们将探讨这些问题. The main objective of the course is to provide students with a global perspective on the richness and diversity of art produced by the cultures studied. It also considers the impact of colonization and globalization on the treatment of art工作s from non-western cultures and the development of new art forms.
