Outdoor Studies 202 - C reative Expressions of Nature

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

Offered as part of the Adirondack Semester. This course looks at our interaction with the natural world through an individual and artistic eye. We consider the purpose of art in general through a look at the genre of nature writing, nature journaling, papermaking, sketching, poetry and artistic representation. Students try their hand at various modes of artistic expression and mine their own experiences in the outdoors for raw material, to explore the intersection of self and the natural world, that internal landscape where the "eye" and the "I" meet. Through a series of focusreading and creative writing assignments, sketching exercises, creative workshops and a gallery visit, students are encouraged to slow down, observe and reflect on the personal relationship they have with the natural world.
