140B LANDSCAPE PAINTING
EC#68387 ARCADIA EXPRESSED: ARTISTS AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS This course explores 'mans relationship to Nature' by way of painters and landscape designers. Specific time periods will be examined for their cultural significance and relationship to our modern taste and aesthetics. At specific times in history man has expressed his relationship with Nature in many creative forms. This discourse and its impact on the Western world will be explored through landscape painting and design concepts, and 'pastoral' poetry. Some time periods examined are: Italian Renaissance, the portraiture of 16th century England and its relationship to the Elizabethan garden, and the Grand Tour and how poetical and democratic ideals were expressed in the Landscape tradition of 18th century England. These will be contrasted with the Hudson River School's depiction of the New World, and the creation of 'Paradise' in California. Secondary themes will be encouraged such as the appreciation of Nature, the changes in social history, the origins of garden design, and how artists and landscape designers interacted to create our rich heritage. The course includes slide lectures, class discussions, reading, and field trips. A mid-term quiz and an exam/project are included. Prerequisites: not open to freshmen. GE: F Instructor office hours
