This course focuses on a range of issues addressing art, architecture and design and their relationship to the environment. Through a critical analysis of design, students will gain an understanding of the impact of industrialization upon art and architecture and apply their understanding in the form of hands-on architectural models and related art activities. Students will also discuss prominent examples of environmental art and sustainable architecture, complete readings and films, and engage in site visits in order to further the practical and conceptual knowledge needed to design and create a more sustainable future. Open to all students and no prior experience necessary; ideal for any student considering future work in art, architecture, sustainable design, graphic design, industrial design, and/or urban planning.

This course teaches biological illustration as a way of thinking, seeing, and communicating. Students learn basic traditional and digital drawing techniques through introductory projects that teach close study of natural subjects. Then students design and complete an independent project that illustrates a concept or topic of personal interest for a hypothetical or actual textbook page, poster, or other educational resource. Through projects, readings, discussions, and professional examples, students learn how to solve scientific visual communication problems, while understanding how their choices relate to truths conveyed through other forms of illustration, art, and design.

This course is an introduction to art history from roughly Neolithic Period-1400. The course content addresses art from around the globe with a slight emphasis on East Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Art is examined through the lens of global connections and how these connections transformed art around the world in this period. This course considers movement of objects, ideas and technologies across space and through time. Each class period will focus on a number of issues, which will be introduced through specific examples of art. Any object may be examined from several points of view: as an independent work of art, as an example of a particular style developed within a chronological framework, or as a type which illustrates features associated with a certain locale, country, religious, political, or social context. Offered in the Fall. Attributes: Artistic Expression (AE), Thematic Encounter1/2-Movement
