Art Inspired by Nature

In this course, students looked at the natural world around them as inspiration for creating their art. This course spanned a wide range of art processes, media, and dimensions (2D and 3D) such as drawing from observing nature, sculpting nature-inspired forms, using natural materials for mixed media collage, recording changes in nature, and much more. Through looking at the work of artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Sumi brush painters, and Native American artists, students determined the influences of nature on the art of various times and places.
