Understanding Korean Art focuses on all aspects of Korean art, including painting, sculpture, dance, music, and other forms that developed with a uniquely national style. Divided into seven chronological chapters, the text takes the reader on a journey from prehistoric times where visual arts, predominantly sculpture, earthenware, and drawings carved into rock, served not only practical uses, but also influenced by the primitive religious beliefs. Korean dance and music also originated in this time period playing an important part of prehistoric farming and harvesting rituals.
