ARTH 5202 - Studies in Asian Art

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2015

This course surveys the history of religious art in Asia over the past two millennia. The course focus will shift each year according to the current exhibition and display program of the Art Gallery of South Australia to variously include the art of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain traditions. The evolution of aesthetics and iconography in India and its wider influence in the rest of Asia and the context of the philosophy and practice of these religions will be explored and discussed.
