Description: This course will examine the proliferation of earthworks: land art and site-specific art since the late 1960s. These various works have become influential in many ways, espeically in garden and urban design. The course will overview ancient site-specific works, usually religious or assumed religious sites: Paleolithic cave art and Stonehenge, as well as pyramids in Egypt, the Middle East and Central America, Nazca line drawings, etc. However, the emphasis will be on the American art, particularly those seminal works constructed in the remote desert areas. This course is intended for visual arts majors.
