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

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Our relationship with the world is deeply affected by the images we use to understand and express our place in nature. This course engages critical investigation and application of ecological concepts and how these are addressed through art and digital media. With emphasis on using remote digital trail cameras to capture images of wildlife, we experiment with conceptual approaches to art making and develop strategies for how artists can both critique culture and 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.
