Environmental Art: Exploration of Spiral Jetty
Students will learn about environmental art by focusing on Spiral Jetty at Great Salt Lake, Utah. To contextualize Spiral Jetty, students will learn about the Jetty’s creator, Robert Smithson, as well as the birds and habitat of Great Salt Lake. Using a variety of media, students will render both their version of Spiral Jetty and one of the birds that that migrate through and/or nest at Great Salt Lake.
