- Course Catalog Description:
- Art + Ecology explores the history, theory, and contemporary practice of artists engaged with the ecological issues of our time. This seminar offers an introduction to the dynamic and emerging field of Environmental Art, focusing on the ways in which artists use creativity to work across disciplines to address ecological concerns. This course investigates the role contemporary artists play as catalysts in relation to a range of concerns, including environmental justice, mass extinction, climate change, and treatment of "waste" as well as issues of the quality of the air, water, soil, and habitat. This seminar also will introduce the notion of artists as agents of change who build communities of ecologically aware practices around interrelated environmental and social issues. Students will be encouraged to see how their creativity and imagination can contribute to finding solutions to pressing environmental problems.
- Class Description:
- Ecology is the house we live in. Ecology is creativity. Ecology is complex, adaptable and ever changing. The diverse beauty of our planet was crafted over eons through improvisation and experimentation. We as humans are a part of the web of life that sustains the Earth, but we are also the cause of imminent ecological collapse. Our brief history as a species contains the lessons of human hubris in our belief that we could dominate and control natural systems, not realizing that we were destroying the very web of life needed for our own survival. Human history also contains the example of Indigenous cultures living in balanced reciprocity for millennia. I believe Humans are both the cause and the solution to our conundrum. I believe human creativity is now essential to repairing our fragmented ecology and tattered social fabric. Like ecology, art is an expression of creativity. So here we stand, in this time, at the cusp of great transformations. Art and artists are leading the way to real transformation. Join me, Interdisciplinary artist Sean Connaughty, as we add to our collective knowledge base and imagine new ways to address our conundrum through the practice of art. Hybrid in person and online instruction. We will be adaptive to developing circumstances with utmost care in using safe social distancing practices.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- All are welcome, no prerequisite. Anyone interested in the intersection of art and ecology.
