NorskEnvironmental Arts - "Formgiving" and Sloyd
During the study programme students will mainly work outdoors with installations, buildings, objects and sculptures. They will use areas in the mountains and a nearby lake not far from the university college campus. The study programme will examine terms such as “green art”, “sustainable design” and “post-carbon arts and crafts”.
One of the aims of the study programme is to reuse, reduce and recycle in the making process.
Students will also be encouraged to develop a sense of place and context during their practical work with each project.
The Institute will select two of the courses to offer each year; in other words, students will study courses comprising a total of 30 ECTS each year. The first study programme will commence January 2011, and the first semester will begin with course 3 and then move on to course 1.
Course 1 (15 ECTS) Art in Nature I (spring)
Course 2 (15 ECTS) Scandinavian Sustainable Formgiving and Sloyd (not taught in the first year)
Course 3 (15 ECTS) Art in Nature II (winter)
Course 4 (15 ECTS) “Eco-Art”. The Contemporary Art Movement and Ecological Activism (not taught in the first year)
Successful completion of this study programme will provide students with an International Module in Teacher Training; the study programme may also form part of a Bachelor’s degree in Art and Design. It may also be used when applying for Master’s studies in the Arts, when combined with other study programmes.
