In this advanced studio/seminar course, a rich and unconventional approach to visualization of designed land is explored. Fine art practices, including painting, appropriation, found objects, land art, photography, and video, are starting points for students to develop their own dynamic visual language to communicate ideas, inspire clients, and lead positive change. Central to the course is the study of earth art or earthworks, land or environment artists, and related sculptors and nature-inspired artists such as Agnes Denes, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Hamish Fulton, Andy Goldsworthy, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Derek Jarman, Agnes Martin, Maya Lin, Richard Long, Walter de Maria, Ana Mendieta, Mary Miss, Georgia O'Keefe, Dennis Oppenheim, Robert Smithson, Rachel Whiteread, and Amanda Williams.
