A topics course is one that is not regularly offered at the University of Lethbridge. Departments may use topics courses to try out a new course that they are considering regularizing, or for faculty to offer courses related to their research. Series courses are a group of courses within a certian genre and the offering changes every semester. You may take multiple topics and series courses for credit as long as each offering is distinct (i.e. having significantly different titles).
If you have any questions about topics courses, please contact the Fine Arts Advising Office (W660).

LandMarks 2021 - Spatial Storytelling: Land, Art, Place and Community
The Indigenous worldview maintains that history is something ‘written on the land’—that the landscape is itself an animate, living, and embodied archive. From this perspective, this course endeavors to explore what Vine Deloria jr. called the ‘spatiality’ of storytelling—how stories can be dimensional as well as durational; how narratives are intricately interconnected with ‘place’, the landscape and the environment. LandMarks is a studio-based course where students independently apply conceptual, technical and creative skills in the research and production of contemporary art projects in the areas of photo, video, drawing, sculpture, performance, installation, and interdisciplinary practices. At its core, this course is about embodied storytelling, and the ways in which we might ‘participate’ with the landscape while exploring our individual relationships with the living archive of a specific location, and its rich cultural histories. This course is On-Line for Spring 2021.
