For centuries artists
have interpreted and represented the natural environment. It has provided
materials and subject matter, as well as inspiration and knowledge. In recent
times – particularly since the growth of the environmental movement – there has
been a dramatic change in our understanding of the many ways our society
impacts upon the Earth. This awareness has galvanized around the fact that the
relationship between humanity and our life-giving planet is in a critical
state. This change in knowledge has been reflected in contemporary art
practice. MA Art & Environment encourages a focused engagement with
ecological and environmental issues. Designed to give you the skills, expertise
and confidence to operate as a professional artist in this critical area of
practice, the course will also enable you to develop strategies and practices
that use art as a cultural agent – as a tool for knowledge, understanding and
change.
