PNT3031 ST: Landscape Painting in the Exp Field

In this multimedia studio course students utilize traditional painting techniques as well as contemporary art making methods to explore the concept of “landscape” and create perspectives on nature and our changing environment in the 21st century. From the beasts depicted in the earliest cave paintings to the atmospheric depth of Chinese scroll paintings; from the manifest destiny of the Hudson River School to the bulldozing Land Art of the 1960s, artists have attempted to capture and find meaning in the natural world. Today artists continue this ongoing expedition. Some artists use the internet to chronicle human connections to nature, some create painted renderings of the post-apocalyptic future of climate change, and others create large-scale installations as artistic strategies for sustainability and survival in an increasingly unstable world. Using these (and other) diverse artists and movements as inspiration, students will create artwork that investigates ideas such as place, wildness, ecology, and current issues affecting the environment.
