COURSE DESCRIPTION

GART 1B53
Nature & Culture: Material Art and Design
0.50 Credit(s)
Studio
Prerequisite: Students must have completed a minimum of 1.0 credit of First-year studio curriculum.
The intersection of human activity and natural phenomena provides a zone of contention under investigation in contemporary art today.

In this course we will look at the interaction of human action and the natural world, and alternately, the effect of natural events on culture. With an interdisciplinary approach to material arts, students are encouraged to use a wide range of materials, techniques and tools to realize their ideas in 2 dimensions, 3 dimensional form or time-based media, or a combination of all three.The opportunity exists to utilize personal experience, ethnic background and cultural heritage in assignments such as natural form, constructed form, and nature or nurture.
