ES3 Imagery of the Environment
Imagery of the Environment takes a unique approach to Environmental Studies---what can world art teach us about environmental change and about our past and present relationships with nature? We'll explore different cultures and times, investigating themes such as climate change, species extinction and distribution, conservation and our practical, spiritual and ethical ties to other species and to the earth--using art as a tool and inspiration.
What are students saying?
- "I really loved this class! This class has been by far my favorite and most enlightening!"
- "Ms. Thorensen makes the online environment feel engaging, and I feel like I'm actually in a classroom."
- "This quarter in Imagery of the Environment has been one of the most interesting course I've taken, because it pushed me to think about the environment not just as a physical place, but as something we understand through imagery, symbolism and storytelling."
- "What I've learned in this course has ultimately changed my fundamental understanding of human history and my perspective of the relationship between humans and the natural world."
- "The art assignments in this course were both rewarding and challenging in different ways. Knowing that i wasn't going to be graded on my artistic ability, but only on my effort, really enabled me to relax and focus on creating art itself, instead of the outcome while completing the art assignments."
- "As someone who would not consider themselves a artist, I found the art assignments to be really enjoyable. Drawing nature felt very meditative, from my normal hiking trips to looking at my own fish tank; I noticed small details that I would otherwise, normally look past. "
