Another class that we take for three credits it the Art History class. This is an in-depth look at Chinese art history focusing on ceramics. It is a favorite of mine and the professor is very knowledgeable. He only speaks Chinese so a translator is required. The format of the class usually begins with Neolithic ceramics such as Pre-Banpo to Qing Dynasty. There is a lot to cover for these periods but the professor breaks it up in interesting courses enabling you to understand the evolution of high-fired porcelain. I have taken the class many times now and have learned new things each time form the same professor. He goes over material fruition along with kiln and decoration advancement.
