The course explores the visual arts of Asia from prehistory to 21st century, with foremost emphasis on China and Japan, and some references to India, Korea, Tibet and Southeast Asia. Lectures will explore the representative works of painting, sculpture, architecture, calligraphy, ceramics and other crafts and decorative arts. In order to examine the historical significance of Asian art and culture from a global perspective, one lecture will be devoted to the mutual influences of Western and Chinese/Japanese art and aesthetics. Throughout our studies, a special emphasis will be given to the issues of technique and materials, socio-political conditions, art market and patronage, and religious and philosophical currents specific to each period and culture.

This basic, hands-on, mostly traditional-material design and color theory course explores graphic communication through the understanding of the elements and principles of design, as well as the design process, including idea development through final execution. Students develop skills in two-dimensional design, color and content creation while employing the design process of research, sketching and experimentation. Communication designers use the concepts explored in this course in disciplines such as advertising, graphic design, web design, illustration, broadcast design, photography, and game design
