Nature Verses is an exhibition showcasing the
work of LFAS Photography students. The exhibition will consist of mini installations
that respond to the environment. The great outdoors will be the venue (LFAS Court
Yard).
The project questions and
challenges the relationship between humans and nature. It’s the Canadian
conundrum; the fine balance of peoples’ continuous struggles with the beauty,
and the power of the environment. Students will respond to the works of
Andy Goldsworthy, and Christo & Jean-Claude, and various other installation artists. The
exhibition will be on-going for two weeks; nature may prevail and destroy the
works; this harsh reality becomes part of the experience. Once the exhibition
ends, there will be no evidence of its existence.
Materials & Construction Consider the following
materials: fabric, photographs, paper, wood, rope, string, plastics, and metals.
Bring all materials to create the installation and remove
them when the exhibition is over. Students will not be permitted to alter or
destroy anything on the school grounds.
Project Outline
Students are required to create a
detailed plan in which they outline a proposal for an art installation in the school
grounds. The installation will be in response to the environment and the chosen display area. When planning, consider renowned
environmental installation artists: Andy Goldsworthy and Christo & Jean-Claude. Parents and friends are encouraged to participate.
Evaluation
The students will be marked on
creativity, originality, successful implementation of their plan. The students’
artwork will express a clear message relating to the theme “Nature Verses”. The
installation is respectful of the surrounding environment. The complete clean
up of their installation area. Students will only receive a final grade when
all evidence of the installation has been removed.
