Students examine four distinctive landscapes to fuel spontaneous creativity and thoughtful examination. From the starkly beautiful, arid desert-scapes of New Mexico, inspired by artist Georgia O'Keeffe, to the ephemeral mountain-scapes and waterways of China, inspired by artist Cheng Yan, to the bold and electrifying sea-scapes of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, inspired by artists Yayoi Kusama and Bridget Riley, and finally, to the ever-transforming landscapes of Earth, itself— concealing fossilized hidden treasures from ancient civilizations and life forms gone by— the Earth holds many secrets just waiting to be unearthed by the adventurous artist.
