Course Description:
While you are waiting for a train in morning rush hour, you may have encountered slightly peculiar scenes in Japan: an office worker enjoying manga, a lady putting a yuru-chara keyholder on her upscale designer bag, or a train sliding into the station of which interior and exterior covered up by printed anime characters.
Such visual art culture seemingly pervades and is well-accepted in Japan. Looking at the development of visual arts, can it help us to get a better understanding of people’s idea or aesthetics, which such visual arts may embody?
This course explores relationships between the study of visual arts focusing on Modern and Contemporary eras and the expressions and ideas behind them. Adopting interdisciplinary and practice-based approaches to arts, media, and design, we will look at how visual arts and its aesthetics have shaped and influenced Japanese daily life and people’s way of seeing things.
