Description
-
Offered by Diane Ullman in partnership with Donna Billick. This course explores the exciting world of insects with a focus on those biological components that make them an evolutionary success and a constant in human technology, culture, architecture, literature, film and religion.
Students explore these topics in a richly layered learning environment in which they create and learn with a high degree of self-initiative and collaborative interaction. Interactive lectures (2 hours/week) convey concepts and factual information and students are asked to create art from this learning experience in studios (3 hours, 1 time/week) that focus on ceramics, textile surface design and graphic communication. Student projects frequently include large-scale public installations in the UC Davis Arboretum and campus buildings that are aimed at extending student learning to the public and creating accessibility to the academic enterprise and life-long learning opportunities.
