E&ES 359: Global Climate Change

Professor & Chair of Earth and Environmental Science Department Johan Varekamp co-created a module with Tula Telfair, Associate Professor of Art and Art History entitled The Colors of Climate Change, which investigated the portrayal of the environment in landscape painting. The section specifically focused on time periods of great environmental change such as the little ice age and industrial air pollution. This part of the course studied how color choice reflects processes and examined the messages these choices convey. The class traveled to the New York studio of Telfair, a landscape painter, who provided her perspective to students on the visual representations of climate and color choice. (Video by Adrian Nieves)
