Nature
This course has explored nature as motif and concept in visual art, with particular focus on landscape as a genre and as a reflection of cultural and historical ideas. Through translated excerpts from Billedkunstbogen by Katrine Charlotte Busk, analytical discussions, and practical exercises in class, students have examined how nature can be represented, structured, and reinterpreted.
Key focus areas have included color theory and color contrasts, light and shadow, composition, space and depth, and linear perspective. Students have worked analytically with selected –isms and compared historical and contemporary approaches to landscape, including land art, ecocentrism, non-Western traditions, and modern reinterpretations of nature-related artworks.
Throughout the course, students have engaged in a continuous interplay between theory, analysis, and practice, documenting experiments, visual analyses, and reflections in a physical portfolio. Emphasis has been placed on applying relevant terminology, explaining artistic choices, and distinguishing between personal opinion and analytical argumentation, in line with the C-level curriculum requirements and national guidance.
By the end of the course, students have strengthened their ability to:
• apply relevant visual arts terminology in analysis and reflection
• examine visual phenomena through a combination of practice, theory, and analysis
• explain artistic choices, possibilities, and limitations in aesthetic processes
• compare historical and contemporary approaches to landscape
• reflect on cultural and ethical perspectives on nature in a global context
A few artists we have studied:
• Giuseppe Penone
