#wabi cha? insular art and the mix of pagan and Christian symbolism? illuminated manuscripts? guanyin water moon form?

[apotelesmaa]

I hate hate hate hate art history (more specifically the class and not the subject) but goddamn does it not make me annoying as all hell. I see one (1) thing I learned about in class and go heehee I know that. The 8 hours per study guide need to be put to use somehow. Unfortunately last years class was just mainstream art history and now that I’m in global history and needing to learn about religious and cultural history on top of the actual the art I’m going to be so much more obnoxious.

#do you want to talk about different sects of Buddhism and how they influenced art symbolism in the early 1000s in the eastern world #what about yuan dynasty china’s usage of symbolism to express discontent with Mongolian rule #wabi cha? insular art and the mix of pagan and Christian symbolism? illuminated manuscripts? guanyin water moon form? #that’s too bad. i only know the bare minimum. and don’t want to talk about it. #& early-late mayan art and buildings. atlantids. brain full. no room for thoughts.
