    Korean art is noted for its traditions in various genres including pottery, music, calligraphy, painting, and sculpture. Korean art was influenced by both Chinese and Japanese art but developed unique styles of its own. Early Korean pottery from 6000 BCE was decorated with comb patterns and used for storage. Korean painting emerged independently around 108 CE and styles included monochromatic works in black brushwork on paper or silk. The first Western-style oil paintings in Korea were self-portraits created in the late 19th century by artist Ko Hu i-dong during a period of Japanese occupation.

    Korean art

    Korean art is noted for its traditions in pottery,


    music, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and other
    genres, often marked by the use of bold color,
    natural forms, precise shape and scale, and surface
    decoration.
    While there are clear and distinguishing differences
    between three independent cultures, there are
    significant and historical similarities and interactions
    between the arts of Korea, China and Japan.
    The study and appreciation of Korean art is still at a
    formative stage in the West. Because of Korea’s
    position between China and Japan, Korea was seen
    as a mere conduit of Chinese culture to Japan.
    However, recent scholars have begun to
    acknowledge Korea's own unique art, culture and
    important role in not only transmitting Chinese
    culture but assimilating it and creating a unique
    culture of its own. An art given birth to and
    developed by a nation is its own art.
    Generally, the history of Korean painting is dated to
    approximately 108 C.E., when it first appears as an
    independent form. Between that time and the
    paintings and frescoes that appear on the Goryeo
    dynasty tombs, there has been little research.
    Throughout the history of Korean painting, there
    has been a constant separation of monochromatic
    works of black brushwork on very often mulberry
    paper or silk; and these are the examples of it
    Contemporary art in Korea: The first example of
    Western-style oil painting in Korean art was in the
    self-portraits of Korean artist Ko Hu i-dong (1886-
    1965). Only three of these works still remain today.
    these self-portraits impart an understanding of
    medium that extends well beyond the affirmation
    of stylistic and cultural difference.

    by the early twentieth century, the decision to paint


    using oil and canvas in Korea had two different
    interpretations. One being a sense of
    enlightenment due to western ideas and art styles.
    This enlightenment derived from an intellectual
    movement of the seventeenth and eighteenth
    centuries. Ko had been painting with this method
    during a period of Japan's annexation of Korea.
    During this time many claimed his art could have
    been political, however, he himself stated he was
    an artist and not a politician. Ko stated "While I was
    in Tokyo, a very curious thing happened. At that
    time there were fewer than one hundred Korean
    students in Tokyo. All of us were drinking the new
    air and embarking on new studies, but there were
    some who mocked my choice to study art. A close
    friend said that it was not right for me to study
    painting in such a time as this."
    Korean pottery was recognized as early as 6000
    BCE. This pottery was also referred to as comb-
    patterned pottery due to the decorative lines
    carved onto the outside. early Korean societies
    were mainly dependent on fishing. So, they used
    the pottery to store fish and other things collected
    from the ocean such as shellfish. Pottery had two
    main regional distinctions. Those from the East
    coast tends to have a flat base, whereas pottery on
    the South coast had a round base.
    Laotian art
    Lao Buddhist sculptures were created in a large
    variety of material including gold, silver and most
    often bronze. Brick-and-mortar also was a medium
    used for colossal images, a famous of these is the
    image of Phya Vat (16th century) in Vientiane,
    although a renovation completely altered the
    appearance of the sculpture, and it no longer
    resembles a Lao Buddha. Wood is popular for small,
    votive Buddhist images that are often left in caves.
    Wood is also very common for large, life-size
    standing images of the Buddha.
    The most famous two sculptures carved in semi-
    precious stone are the following

    Nepalese art
    The ancient and refined traditional culture of
    Kathmandu, for that matter in the whole of Nepal,
    is uninterrupted and exceptional meeting of the
    Hindu and Buddhist practiced by its highly religious
    people. It has also embraced in its fold the cultural
    diversity provided by the other religions such as
    Jainism, Islam and Christianity.
