Students in this course, through engagement in artistic research, explore their relationship with the natural world by investigating the environment around them. Through project development, students utilize multiple conceptual lenses, including political, sociological, ecological, and philosophical frameworks. Students research ways in which contemporary artists have sought to intervene in, engage with, and bring attention to a changing environment. In a collaborative setting, students synthesize research and creative exploration through the production of artwork using a variety of media. This is an Integrated Media course.
