ARTHI 330 - Adv Art & Sustainability

2 credit(s)
Course focuses on the potential of art to create a new cultural basis for sustainability. Students will explore the contemporary field of artists whose work relates to ecology, the environment, and sustainability. Since environmental or eco artists often collaborate with experts in a wide range of disciplines, it will also be an interdisciplinary examination. In particular, we will study ecologically motivated art relating to earthworks, new materiality in art including recycled objects, as well as a variety of other issues and discourses on social justice in art. This is offered as a bi-level course with ARTHI 230. Students cannot take both ARTHI 230 and ARTHI 330 for credit.
