This interdisciplinary arts course allows students to explore walking as a medium for creativity and integration with the arts. Students will develop deeper questions, meaning, and inspiration from engagement the surrounding landscapes by drawing, painting, photographing, writing, and mapping everyday walks through mindful walking. Throughout the course, we will examine and discuss the walking praxis of artists and thinkers including Rebecca Solnit, Mary Oliver, Henry David Thoreau, Thich Nhat Hanh, Barry Lopez, Edward Hirsh, and Gabriel Orozco.
