AH 340 - The Silk Road
Upper Division
This course will offer an historical overview of the role that the Silk Road played in the transmission of religions, cultures and the arts from their local origins to all other regions of the entire continent of Asia (in its expanded sense and not the modern colonial definition of just East and South Asia). The main focus, however, will be on various traditional and contemporary artistic practices of each region through a close examination of exemplary cases from the eastern, southern, central, and western parts of the continent, as well as a serious consideration of their interconnected-ness.

AH 341 - Issues in Non-Western Art
Upper Division
This course offers an introduction and survey of the Sub-Saharan African arts from the ancient and classical periods to the colonial to the modern and contemporary times. It will explore the common and shared aesthetic values as well as the dazzling diversity of these arts in the continent of 700 million belonging to very different cultures. There will be a focus on the historical and cultural context of each region whose arts are covered in this course. African art will be explored through the investigation and understanding of local aesthetic values rather than through the imposition of categories of external origin. It may be a field of well-hoed yam heaps (as, for example, among the Tiv people of Nigeria) or a display ox castrated in order to enhance its visual effect (as among the Nuer and Dinka pastoralists of South Sudan) that constitutes the significant work of art in a given area of Africa.

AH 342 - Arts of the Americas
Upper Division
This course is a comprehensive survey of the art and visual culture of the Americas from the pre-contact (with the European colonialists) to the colonial period up to the present. Diverse and focused readings will guide the students through the culture, art, design, and architecture of early Mesoamerican, Andean, and North American civilizations like Olmec and Paracas to later empires like Aztec and Inca in the 14th and 15th centuries to the hybrid culture that emerged during the colonial period to a brief consideration of the modern and contemporary periods. While European (as well as African and Asian) influences on these arts and culture of the Americas will be a constitutive aspect of this course, the primary emphasis will be on indigenous art and design practices. The structure of the course will be a combination of regional and chronological approaches. There will be an attempt to include as many of indigenous views in the viewing assignments as possible.

AH 343 - Islamic Art
Upper Division
This course is an overview of 14 centuries of art and culture, starting as a local monotheistic religion in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th Century before expanding into a global empire in the course of a century. This course will briefly examine the history of religious art in general and, in much more exquisite detail, the history of the art and culture that developed inspired by or in direct response to Islam. In this respect, the course will also challenge some of the Orientalist views of the Islamic world (as Edward Said calls it the imaginary Orient) including the popular characterization of Islamic art as essentially non or anti-figurative by making the rich tradition of miniature painting (of Persia/Iran, and Mughal and Ottoman empires) and other figurative practices in Islamic societies. The course will be organized chronologically and according to the classical periodization of the early Islamic dynasties and the subsequent regional powers all the way to the Ottomans and the Safavids. We will also consider Islamic art as part of modern contemporary world.

AH 345 - Museums and the Construction of Other
Upper Division
This course is an historical and theoretical examination of the museum and gallery spaces as sites where cross-cultural representations of the “Others” are shaped, constructed, negotiated, and/orresisted. It starts with an historical overview of the formation of museums in the West in the late 18th and early 19th century as public educational institutions and the development of ethnographic exhibitions. We will look at the cultural maps that define the boundaries and contact zones between cultures in order to understand how the reception of non-Western cultures is framed by the way that Western museums classify and display the art objects belonging to those cultures. The study will also re-pose the same question in regards to gender identity formation, as well as the complex process of overlapping and conflicting identities as part of the museum experience.

This course explores the connection between art history and the science of conservation and will include activities in both the lab and the art studio. Students will investigate artists’ materials from different historical periods, including pigments, dyes, binders, solvents, and varnishes; methods of cleaning; various technical tools such as microscopic analysis and techniques using x-rays, ultraviolet, and infrared light. We will discuss examples of restorations gone badly as well as famous restored artwork, and will discover how the science of conservation must be strictly intertwined with the discipline of art history, with strong ethical values and with a deep respect for the object’s function within a cultural environment. In this context we will also discuss the issue of forgeries and their place in the art world. This is a hands-on course, and students will be required to perform some level of restoration.
