¿Environmental art¿ stems from a historical engagement with the landscape through painting and also encompasses the scope of the urban landscape. This course will enable students to consider, through a range of art practices how the development of environmental issues in art has stimulated artists to engage with a wider audience.
Initially students will explore, through project work, key areas such as human/animal relations, climate change and ecology, the city and globalization and the imagery of nature. Through a combination of research and studio practices using drawing, painting, mixed media and photography, students will directly engage with these issues as an entry point of study before developing their own position and ideas into a range of related artworks.
