This course considers several Chinese and Japanese artistic traditions from the perspective of sustainability, such as Chinese ritual bronzes, Japanese wood-fired ceramics, and Chinese and Japanese gardens. During the first part of the semester, we shall read, research, and write about sustainability topics, in particular our role as consumers and the production cycles of the things we consume.
