| Course Title: Topics in Studio Art: 'Art and Environment' |
| Start Date: 03/18/2021 End Date: 05/11/2021 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: What does it mean to be an artist in a time of global environmental crisis? How can art connect social, racial, and environmental justice frameworks? How can art foster a sense of kinship between humans, land, water, and non-human organisms? In this class, we'll conduct interdisciplinary, project-based inquiry exploring themes of place, materiality, reciprocity, and advocacy, as they relate to environmental concerns. Students will create independent artworks in conversation with the class community and instructor. Traditional and non-traditional materials and approaches are welcome, and time-based, site-specific, and process-oriented methodologies will be explored. Research and reading on environmental topics as well as relevant artists and art histories will be emphasized alongside studio-based inquiry. |
