Our study of Chinese Art is not just from Chapter 5, but we'll cover Chinese art from the first six chapters of Art Past Art Present.
We will look at a few aspects and periods of Chinese Art in this unit, stemming from the prehistoric era to the early medieval period. Learning about Chinese art is difficult because there are so many different art forms, so many different historical periods, so many different themes and so many different ethnic groups, influences and regional art forms! This unit will cover art from some of the major Chinese dynasties as well as highlights of Buddhist art.
