Prerequisite: Prerequsite: ARTS 120 or 121. This intensive, place-based course allows students to practice photography skills, encourages students to think about the conceptual content of photographs, and requires students to produce a series of photo-based projects informed and constrained by a specific natural environment. The class includes instruction on the environmental context of our course location, including instruction in the ecology, natural history, and geology. Most of the course occurs outside. Image presentations, readings, and discussions about place-based and site-oriented art provide a conceptual foundation.
