COOL CLASSES: "Art and the Environment in East Asia"

"Art and the Environment in East Asia"

This course—which is cross-listed in East Asian languages and cultures, environmental studies, and visual studies—is taught by Assistant Professor Erin Schoneveld and examines the relationship between environment and the arts in China and Japan—particularly how artists engage with and respond to nature through varied modes of artistic production and exhibition.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
