Course content: 

This studio course investigates ways of collaborating with the land within a studio-based practice. In this course we will be conducting hands-on field work gathering natural materials, processing mineral and plant pigments, installing finished work both inside a gallery setting and out on the land, working in field journals to record findings and ideas, written reflections, and readings that relate to the lessons. We will discuss and explore the ethics as well as the health and safety of working with gathered materials. 

Throughout the class, students will be creating three small projects that lead into a final artwork.
