ART 019 | Microcosm, Macrocosm
An art-making course with emphasis on the intersection of visual language and the natural world.

The course will consist of studio work, critiques, criticial analysis of selected readings, and videos as well as field trips to important resource sites locally and statewide. No prerequisites. Non-major encouraged. AOI: Artistic Experience
