Browse Hierarchy SARC383: Special Topic: Art and Landscape Aotearoa

This course studies the imaginative power of landscape by analysing the art made in Aotearoa during the time people have been living on these islands. It will interpret what it is to be here through images, forms and narratives of imagination. The course explores material culture, tribal history, and Whare Whakairo carving and painting to understand continuities and changes in narrative, form and image through the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries in art of the premodern, modern and contemporary periods. Design outcomes in Architecture, Interior Architecture and Landscape Architecture will be produced through analytic drawing, mapping, and interpretative representation in model and image-making.
