Workshop: Ecological Art

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

Explores the history, theoretical foundations, and practices of environmental and ecologically attuned art, ranging from 1960s-70s "Earthworks" to place-based and ephemeral eco-art to current bioremedial and trash art. Students create their own "eco" artworks, learning techniques such as pigment-making from local plants, found object sculpture, and weaving using invasive species. Prerequisite: 4.0 university credits.
