In China, Japan, and throughout much of Europe in the period between 800 and 1400, there was an explosion of artistic creativity. For this assignment, I want you to locate an image of one piece of art from one of the medieval dynasties. These include, for example, the Tang, Song, and the Southern Song Dynasties in China, the Heian Period in Japan, the Carolingian Dynasty in Europe, among others. Cut and paste the image of the piece into your Google Document. Then write a brief analysis of the piece as it relates to the historical period in which it was created. Remember, medieval art is not like modern art. It was not an expression of the individual vision of an artist. It was not a representation of an artist's psychology. It was a symbolic work meant to represent a religious or social phenomenon or to make a religious or social argument.
