Immerse Yourself
This course provides a unique opportunity for an intimate look at the coastal regions of the United States. On a cross-country road trip, students experience the aesthetic, ecological, and cultural value of seashores through intentional artistic expression and reflection while learning about the unique physical and biological nature of each site. Students investigate coastal habitats through hands-on exploration and visitor center experiences and produce original art (medium of choice) and natural history descriptions in field journals. Students consider the relationship between human culture and different coastal environments. Recent trips have travelled from Florida to Maine, and future trips are headed to the Pacific Northwest.
