Sp63E The Arts and People of Japan (Zoom; OLLI @ Chico)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
To understand the arts is to know the mind and spirit of the people. In this class, we will explore Japan’s artistic history through its profound and elegant creations. We will explore Japan’s best contributions to the visual arts from prehistory, the earliest Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, and sculpture and paintings until the time of the last feudal ruler. In so many creative fields, Japan’s artistry has greatly influenced artists in our modern world. It is important to identify and credit those absorbed influences.
Katherine Harper has a PhD in the art history of India from UCLA. She retired from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles after 37 years. She has lived and traveled extensively throughout Asia.
