From Thoreau to Hemingway, from the f/64 group of wilderness photographers to the contemporary wolf/wilderness photographer Jim Brandenberg, encounters with the wild have shaped American art and culture. What better way to study those encounters than within the wilderness that inspired the writers and photographers? Therefore, the class will journey to the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, to the Coe College Wilderness Field Station, where we will immerse ourselves in the glorious September outdoors, study journals, literature and photography and consider the interplay between our own encounters with the wilderness and the artworks about the wilderness that we study. The course will reect upon art and meditation as ways of relating to the wilderness. To capture our own responses to the wilderness, we will keep journals/portfolios of projects involving writing, literary analysis, meditation, and photography (including a one-photo-a-day project inspired by Brandenberg's works). The class will study photographers Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham and others who created art from their encounters with the wilderness. We will study Thoreau's foundational essays from Walden and the vibrant journals and paintings of Emily Carr, the Canadian wilderness writer and painter of the _rst half of the 20th century. We'll read _ction and essays by a variety of American writers and discuss them over camp_res and dinners, and by the lake. While at the Wilderness Field Station, depending on the class size and sta_ availability, we may do a canoe trip and camp for a few days at compelling sites of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, or we will stay at the Field Station on lovely Low Lake and do day trips. You may be a seasoned camper, a neophyte, or something in between, but the class will all work together to make the course and our trip, memorable. We may learn to portage, canoe, recognize trees and wolf scat and ora and fauna of the area as we interact with other courses at the Field Station for the Cornell Wilderness Term. The Field Station is primitive, rustic, and rather raw. Cornell College | 2008-09 Academic Catalogue Topics Courses 125 Be ready to embrace the absence of electricity, laptops, cellphones, and iPods.

The 1960s and 1970s were decades of enormous rebellion and change. Women were involved in both public and private battles to explore and expose traditional assumptions about gender, race, class, and especially sexuality. Women artists used their bodies to challenge the prevailing ideology of the time. This course will examine and discuss the provocative body artwork created and performed by women artists primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. This course will be conducted as a workshop, will include several in-depth assigned readings, viewing videos and slides pertaining to this work, several response papers, and projects involving using your own body as art.
