Text John C. Huntington and Dina Bangdel. The Circle of Bliss: Buddhist Meditational Art.Chicago and Columbus, Serindia and The Columbus Museum of Art 2003 Unfortunately, on closed reserve in the Fine Arts Library only Course Description & Objectives: Description: Buddhist art from India, China, and Japan has long graced many western museums throughout the world. More recently, works from the other Buddhist regions of the world have also become popular as well. However, except for a very few specialists, they are primarily admired for their exquisite beauty and exotic or some imagined “mystical” quality. The course will provide both a religious setting and cultural context for several of the major types of Buddhist art. The emphasis of the course work, readings, and assignments will be on providing the student with understanding of the History of Buddhism the evolution of its soteriological methodologies, and the both the historical continuities discrete role that art lays in the religion. Catalog Description: The course will provide both a religious setting and cultural context for several of the major types of Buddhist art. Emphasis will be placed on a holistic understanding of Art in primarily religious context and to a lesser degree, societal, and cultural understanding. The course has three objectives 1. To provide an historical overview, free of discipline based biases, Euro-American cultural condescension, and sectarian viewpoints. 2. To provide a description of the literature of Buddhism and how it informs the arts for the following: A. Shravaka yana (pejoratively known as Hina yana) Methodologies B. Mahayana Methodologies 1) Bodhisattvayana including Madhyamika and Paradise 2) Tantrayana including Yoga Tantra, Carya Yoga Tantra, and Annutata Yoga Tantra C. To illustrate by specific examples how the art connected with of each of these methodologies informs the practice of both the ritual specialist and the laity. Method of Instruction: Primarily, slide-lecture and discussion techniques will be used in the course. Although there will be numerous “no slide” days or days in which the “slides” will consist of didactic graphics. These will usually be posted on the Huntington Archive web site. Invariably, some individuals wish to discuss the ideas in this course in more detail than the usual class format allows. The students are always welcome in my office for further discussion of any topic. Student responsibilities: 1) To compile a keyboarded and printed out notebook of class notes. This is to include any handouts and other materials from the courses and may include other materials from the recommended text, the website and other sources of the student’s choosing. 2) Attendance is also mandatory. Three unexcused absences and there will be a one full point reduction from the earned grade, i.e., A to B and so on. (This is not my first choice, but recent experience has demonstrated that enforcement of attendance is necessary to protect some students from their own lassitudness which resulted in much lowered grades.)
1) Notebook: the notebook will be examined briefly the week before the midterm and the week before the final. It will be graded in the usual manner A-E, and the combined grades will amount to 25% of the course grade or 12.5% for each examination. Failure to turn in an appropriate notebook, i.e., keyboarded and printed will result in two unfortunate situations. a) You will lose the percentage of the grade for the notebook and, b) you will not be permitted to use notes of any kind for the exam. (Bad Idea) 2) The Midterm grade is 35% of the course grade 3) the final is 40% of the course grade. While this may seem rather mechanical, it is not. I reserve the right to adjust any grade in any direction as far as I choose because of whatever circumstances I perceive as pertinent. What does that mean? Generally, it means that I tend to reduce the numerical penalty for poor performance at the midterm and reward significantly improved performance for the final. While there are rare exceptions in which I will change a grade in a negative direction (obviously wild guessing that does net a few correct answers etc.), it is generally to the individual’s benefit when I do make such changes. Fair warning: If you do it right, the notebook is a lot of work (if you do not do it right your grade will almost certainly reflect that). If you do not keep up with it for the entire quarter, starting with week one, you will not succeed in the course. Every year that I have taught this course, some individuals have attempted to skimp, skip, or “cram” the notebook into the last few days before it is due. It does not work! And, the grades of the individuals who try such tactics demonstrate that with great clarity. You MUST designate one or two days each week as “notebook days” or there will be difficulties. Statement of Departmental Policies: Images for Study: The images for this class will be available for online study. Simply go to the Huntington Archive Homepage ( http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu ) go to “Projects” and under Projects go to Asian Art History Course Support (OSU students only.) Students with disabilities: Any student who feels that he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me to discuss your specific needs. I usually rely on the Office of Disability Services to verify the need for accommodation and to help develop accommodation strategies. Students with disabilities who have not previously contacted the Office of Disability Services are encouraged to do so, by looking at their website (http://www.ods.ohio-state.edu) and calling them for an appointment. Academic misconduct: OSU professors are required by their contracts to report suspected cases of academic misconduct to the Committee on Academic Misconduct. (The University’s rules on academic misconduct can be found on the web at http://acs.ohio-state.edu/offices/oaa/procedures/1.0.html) The most common form of misconduct is plagiarism. Remember that any time you use the ideas or the statements of someone else, you must acknowledge that source in a citation. This includes material that you found on the web. The University provides guidelines for research on the web at http://gateway.lib.ohio-state.edu/tutor. Course Syllabus (Based on an 18-lecture quarter. Occasionally scheduling sets up a 17-lecture quarter or other events occur that limit the course to less than 18 lectures.

You will be given the opportunity to examine first-hand three small bronze sculptures from India. Your task is to choose one of the three sculptures and write a detailed description of every aspect of the work. Look at the sculpture from all sides, including the bottom. Can you suggest how the piece was manufactured? The artists used the lost-wax casting method. Can you see how the forms were created in the wax model? What signs of use and age do you see? Are there materials present that were not part of the original manufacture? How does your experience of examining a real sculpture differ from what you are presented with in class and in books through photographs? You will be able to schedule time outside of class to examine the works. Note: Students who have taken my “objects” seminar will serve as guides andmentors to the students who have not. Students who have taken my objects seminar will write a paper that is a set of guidelines for instructing others to examine objects, including the common “errors” people make when examining a work of art for the first time. paper #2: Due Thursday, Thursday, May 18 Paper must be typed, double space. Length 4-6 pages. Readings: Will be available on the Course website.
Write a paper in which you, first, summarize the main issues addressed in these two articles. Using materials in these articles, as well as discussions in class and in the textbook about imagery that may have more than level of meaning, write an essay on whether you believe that scholars are “reading too much into” the sculptures of ancient India or whether there really are multiple levels of reading. Do you think that kings whose images were apparently embedded into images of deities were egoistic and doing this for political, propagandistic reasons? Explain and use specific examples of works of art that we have covered in class, which are in the textbook, and which are discussed in the articles.

This course examines the art of South Asia from ca. 1200 to contemporary times. The course focuses especially on painting and architecture as very little major sculpture was produced during this period. The course emphasizes the interrelationships and dynamics among the Islamic society that becomes a major force in South Asia, beginning around the 12th century, the European Colonial peoples who became a major force in South Asia beginning in the 18th century, and, of course, the indigenous Indic peoples, religions, and artistic traditions. We will see that there are many different ways in which these cultures and their arts interacted. In some cases, there was a total clash of cultures; in others, there were borrowings and influences; in still others, there was a total capitulation to the newly installed powers.
Class meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 to 3:18 in 211 Hayes Hall. Readings There is no textbook for the course. Readings and suggested readings are listed in the appropriate places on your Lecture Outline (see below) and are posted on CARMEN. Information from the readings will be incorporated into the questions on your exams. I ask not so much that you read for detail and facts, but, rather, for the content and ideas as they relate to the materials we are covering in class. Please let me know if you have any questions about what you should be “getting” from the readings.
This course will use the CARMEN electronic class management system. All lectures will be posted on CARMEN. The course syllabus, readings, assignments, announcements, e-mail and other details of the course will also be managed with CARMEN.
There will be two exams for the course, a midterm and a final. The final will be a midterm of the second half of the course (one hour) and a cumulative final (one hour) Make-up exams will only be given in extreme circumstances. In the case of an illness or emergency, please contact the instructor as soon as possible. Requests for make-up exams must be accompanied by appropriate medical or other documentation. Exams may include slides, terms, maps, and essays, as well as information from your readings. This 2 course emphasizes your understanding and your ability to articulate concepts about the art rather than rote memorization.

Be sure to bring in comparative works of art to reinforce your suggestion of its style and date. Approx. 10-15 pages. 2. Create a work of art based on one of the techniques and styles we have studied in class. Research the methods, create the work, and write a short explanation of what you have done. Your work can be a copy of an original work or your own 3 creation based on the principles of original works of art. Please ask me to preapprove your project before you begin. 3. Select a topic from the following and write a 12-15 page paper (graduate students 15-18) on the subject. a. Akbar’s religious thought as reflected in the paintings of his court. b.
