Assignment:
Create a 300 words:
The Museum has a wonderful permanent collection of Chinese art. You are only required to go once this semester, but I hope you'll want to go more than once. Make sure to see the small gilded Buddha, one of their most famous pieces, and the bronze rhinoceros. Their jade collection is also famous. And look at whatever paintings they have out at the moment to see the possible formats: hanging scroll, hand scroll, album paintings. Of course, if you have time, the rest of the museum-the Indian, Southeast Asian, Tibetan, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian art-- is also wonderful.
Your assignment is to find TWO works of art in the China collection that you like. Describe them briefly and specifically, including both their similarities and their differences.
