SUMMer CoUrSe: arT & THe eNVIroNMeNT Take IFS 3129 Art & the Environment (e-series on-line) this summer. In what ways can artists attempt to effect change through the use of environmental art & design? What are notable strategies used by artists/designers in this field? How can critical thinking be used to ex-pand on issues of sustainable art practices? Art that focuses on sustainability comes in many forms. It reflects a series of ideas about social and ecological issues facing the world today. These projects don't intend to solve environmental problems but point to potential solutions and raise awareness. By analyzing, discussing and writing about these artists and their work you can develop an enhanced awareness of the complexities we are faced with globally and gather perspectives on the ways artists attempt to effect change.
