EA 144 PZ -Visual Ecology: Revealing Animals, Creating Art, and Making Symbols

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Our relationship with the world is impacted by the images we use to understand and express our place in nature. This course engages investigation and application of ecological concepts and how these are addressed through art. We experiment with conceptual approaches to art making and strategies for how artists can create positive visions for the future. In this combined theory & praxis course, we integrate studio art with scholarly analysis and engaged field research as we create socially and environmentally responsible artworks. The focus for fall 2019 is the completion of a Field Guide to the Claremont Wilderness Park; students with experience with graphic design, illustration, and natural history are particularly encouraged to enroll.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
