The Emotional Landscape
David Benjamin Sherry
Tuition $1,195
Code P1129-26
This course reimagines landscape in contemporary photography—not as scenery, but as a living threshold where history, identity, and climate converge. Exploring intersections of gender, identity, environment, and spirit, we’ll ask how art can witness collapse while opening pathways to transformation. Students create and share work that embraces impermanence, finds beauty within loss, and honors the inseparability of self and place. Through shared knowledge, dialogue, and accountability, we build community and deepen artistic practice. The course invites artists to connect soul to practice, engage a world in flux, and create images that awaken perception and reimagine possibility.
