Art and the Environment

Catalog description

In this class, students will explore and create ecologically motivated art. In order to expand their understanding of the relationship between art and major environmental issues and to investigate how art can raise awareness about environmental concerns, students will experience the history of this art movement and current eco artists, critically analyze relevant readings, and create their own artistic works. Art areas will include painting, illustration, sculpture, earthworks, photography, mixed media, found objects, and installation art.
