This is an introduction to Mathematical Art History from the perspective of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. Starting from the prehistorical color paintings in early China, this course surveys traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting chronologically, from the beginning to the modern and contemporary periods. The student learns both the conventional knowledge of traditional Chinese art history and the long-neglected ideas of mathematical art history. The student is expected to have a systematic understanding of the basic knowledge of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, and to complete a course project or paper in the context of mathematical art history.
本课程通过传统中国书画艺术来学习数理美术史。课程将全面介绍从史前彩绘艺术的源流,到战国秦汉墓葬所出传统书画,乃至宋元明清及现当代中国传统书画的代表性作品,学习中国美术史上长期为人所忽略的数理美术之义,在学习传统艺术史知识的同时,从一个全新的角度重新认识美术史。本课程期待同学们:(1)在数理美术史的思想与方法论背景中,系统了解中国书画艺术的基本知识与数理美术史特征;(2)完成以中国书画艺术为背景的期末课题或论文.
