Or East Asian art history

I've been taking one of the western world. Learn about Roman architecture, Greek sculpture, etc.

just wondering if East Asian art history classes are around. If there were any significant advancements in various techniques of architecture etc. throughout the millenia.

The Art History class I took back in college had maybe at most 10 pages dedicated to East Asian art... that's 10 pages out of 400+ pages...

Well, they do exist, at least in my institution. But I'm not expecting too much out of those classes though. I'm hoping they aren't as bad as my dreaded "Chinese History" class with all the Westerncentric revisionist history and Westerncentric view (Chinese were isolated, closed off from the world, conservative, Confucian culture, made to obey and serve, sexist, blah blah blah) of Chinese history and all and worse, further perpetrated by a Chinese herself...
