Course Description

Creating Art in and with the environment is a form of art that does not harm the environment in any way- what you create is ephemeral. This is a module for people who want to have a connection with the great outdoors and Aberystwyth offers the artist a unique environment.

This course facilitates the produce of artwork that relates to the natural environment, through group activities and self-generated projects. By focusing on specific environments students will develop their aesthetic and conceptual responses, their understanding of place and the qualities of natural materials. You will be working in woodlands, the river bank and at the beach. The module will be based at the School of Art for lectures but you will need access to transport to get to locations close by. It will be possible to walk but you will need to adhere to the course timings.

Land Art can be studied as a stand-alone course and it is a key course for the Certificate of Higher Education in Art and Design at Aberystwyth University.
