Art History 360 - Sem: Visual Culture of S. Asia

'The seminar explores the social life of visual images in South Asia. Made, viewed, disfigured, reproduced, and collected, images convey different ways in which they become involved in human values and cultural contests. Using case studies, the course will analyze artworks as a visual record of these involvements in different periods of South Asian history including the modern. Students will conduct intensive visual analysis of architecture, painting, sculpture, and film; debate scholarly essays on interdisciplinary topics; develop provocative research projects; and design class presentations.'

This course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Prereq: 8 credits from Art History
