Over the span of two weeks, participants explored the southwest landscape of deserts, mountains, and canyons through photography and creative writing, traveling to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Arches National Park in Utah. Local fieldwork included trips to Indian Fort, Anglin Falls, and Owsley Fork Reservoir.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Civil War, conservationists have helped shape public opinion and federal laws with a unique and powerful tool \u2013 the photograph. In today\u2019s world, conservation organizations such as the Sierra Club, Audubon Society and Greenpeace continue to save species and preserve wild places by arousing the public with powerful visual images reproduced in wall calendars and large format books. Pairing these images with words \u2013 poems, essays, or articles on scientific, historical, aesthetic, or spiritual dimensions of nature \u2013 has been another important means of preserving the earth.<\/p>\n<p>This course was designed for students interested in photographing and preserving our natural environment. Photographic instruction was centered on camera use, composition, and printmaking through Photoshop and digital story-telling. Students also read a variety of nature writings and experimented with different forms of nature writing related to their photographic images. Classroom sessions included philosophical discussions of the viability of using photography, alone or with writing, to lobby Congress and increase public awareness of conservation issues. Stewardship of the earth\u2019s resources and the role of nature in spiritual and artistic development were central themes throughout the course.<\/p>\n<p>A reception and presentation of the exhibit took place Monday October 20, 5 \u2013 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curators:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instructors Dr. Libby Jones and Dr. Alan Mills, and students Taylor Ashworth, Atiba Bailey, Nicholas Farr, Ricky Foley, Chloe Forsting, Sara Gallimore, Oksana Grishchuk, Emily Isaacs, Austin Johnson, Tabitha Potter-Cornett, Christine Rider, Anna Joines Skaggs, Kathleen G.
