Environment, Art + Engaged Practice 2016 Exhibition
an exhibition of student work

What happens when you put millennial artists in a forest? The answers might surprise you!

View student work from Associate Professor Kevin Kautenburger’s fall 2016 class, Environment, Art + Engaged Practice.

The course was experiential in nature, with the students immersing themselves within the natural environment and using aspects of that experience as the basis of a self-proposed semester-long project. Students worked in close consultation with Kautenburger, Stefanie Verish, a geologist, and a host of visiting artists.

Participating students include:

• Sage Byham ’18, Sculpture + Expanded Media
• Spencer Cowan ’18, Industrial Design
• Rebecca Konte ’17, Biomedical Art
• Carolyn Merklein ’18, Animation
