ARTH 4725 - Land Art: Site-Specific Art in the Landscape (CI)


CI Communicaitons Intensive
3 credits

This course examines the history of contemporary Land Art from Earthworks in the 1960’s and 1970’s to today’s Ecological Art movement. Students will study Land Art as a type of site-specific, often public, art and consider how Land Art relates to theories of sculpture, public space, landscape, locational identity, community and ecology. Course looks at the significance of Land Art as an art form that exists outside of the confines of the studio, museum and /or gallery space.
