Those who are interested are welcome to seize this rare opportunity to learn more about the course information. Buddhist art is one of the most important areas of Asian art, which has been passed down from India to the cultural circles of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia and has become a religious art and cultural heritage. Buddhism is the fourth largest religion in the world, with more than 500 million adherents and artifacts dating back to 2,500 years ago. This course is a comprehensive introduction to Asian Buddhist art, designed to provide students with an understanding of key topics such as the origins of Asian Buddhist art and its spread in Asia, the art of Buddhist painting, Buddhist sculpture, and an in-depth grasp of Buddhist art collections. Each class is divided into five units, each of which provides a thorough introduction to the chosen topic, during which students can interact with lecturers through questions and discussions. Each unit will be led by leading experts in the field. Students will get reading materials with rich picture descriptions.
