EVFA 105 - Environmental Art:Workshop for All Ages

Institution:

Moore College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

How do we interact with the natural environment? How often do we notice the resilience of nature in our urban environment? How can we learn about our environment by looking at natural cycles and having fun in responding to what we see? This workshop brings together people of all ages and family groups to look at how artists work with natural materials and chart nature's processes through art. Focusing on items we find in nature, we will work with a range of materials to create sculptures, prints, and maps that trace our journeys and explore our experiences of the landscape. There will be demonstrations and workshops where everyone can combine their experiences of nature with studio projects. This course will cover building and composition for beginners young and old, as well as those more skilled. All will share their talents through a collaborative approach to working in groups. At the end of the course, we will present our work together in a "green exhibit." Field trips to the Fairmount Waterworks Interpretive Center, the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, and the Ice Box Project Space are included. Note: This workshop is being offered in conjunction with "Global Warming at the Ice Box," an international exhibit organized by Philadelphia Sculptors, October 5-November 15 (www.philasculptors.org).
