Objects and Myths of Nature: a Sculptural Study

Students will create objects inspired by nature and its encompassing myths through learning sculptural techniques and forms. Studying sacred sites, paranormal locations, plants, formations of canyons, and more - students will learn from ancient narratives to present and future topographies. Artworks made will reflect in unique inquiry and stewardship of natural surroundings thinking critically and poetically about the relationship to land, water and the environment. Students will learn tools in the woodshop and basic metal work. Guest artist visits and field trips will support in expanding ideas in relation to art, myths, and nature.
