FROM THE SUBLIME TO ACTIVISM: ART AND THE ENVIRONMENT
ARH3ENV
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The landscape tradition has been one of the key artistic genres throughout art history. From its initial close associations with map-making and surveying, through to its association with land ownership, and later to the romantic affinity with landscape and the rise of the sublime and the picturesque, artists have always relied on nature as a guide and an inspiration. More recent contemporary art practice has engaged in a fundamental way with issues of pressing environmental concern, such as climate change, sustainability and environmental protectionism, both didactically and as a form of radical political protest. In this subject students will be exposed to the widest possible definition of landscape in the context of environment, ecology and the natural world throughout history, to create a broader understanding of how land and landscape meet.
