This course prepares artists and art educators to develop ways of thinking about sustainability in their practice, both conceptually and physically. We discuss the implications of a place-based practice and question the function of art to inform what a meaningful practice can entail today. Concepts, practical strategies and resources relating to sustainability and art are addressed throughout the course. Various natural art processes are covered including charcoal, natural paints, inks & dyes, handmade paper and recycled materials. The last two classes are spaced out for participants to pursue their own creative projects informed by course content.
