About this Course

New Media Gallery presents a 7 week distance summer camp that focuses on creating positive solutions for the future using art and science. We will combine art, botany and electronics to create a sustainable green work of art. Tackling big ideas with big solutions is a mainstay in the art community and we will look at artists using plants as a medium like Hito Steryl, Mel Chin and Gregory Herbert as inspiration for our own green artworks. Every week students will be provided a video that outlines a step in the project followed by an hour discussion with instructor, Chris Jung and a half hour check-in on everyone’s progress to help and provide inspiration. By the end of the summer camp students will know how to grow their own plants and use them to communicate their big ideas about the future and sustainability.
