ARTH 6315
Experiencing Islamic Art: The Johnson Museum’s Collection

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Grounded entirely in the collection of our on-campus museum, this course will introduce students to a broad chronological and geographical selection of examples of ‘Islamic’ visual culture via close encounters between students and objects. In addition to the scholarly essays and articles through which students habitually learn to analyze visual culture, we will employ fiction (some of which the students themselves will generate), poetry from all relevant periods, including contemporary, current events, travel literature, and more. All written work will be, as will all class sessions, grounded in the physical objects that will form our principal focus.
