subject areas you have studied. This section explains the kind
of credit equivalencies you can expect if you successfully complete
the program.

each quarter if you successfully complete this program. This
part also state whether you may take part of a program for fewer

Horizon: Where
Land Meets Sky
Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Llyn De Danaan, Marilyn Frasca
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Junior and senior standing
and at least one quarter at Evergreen.
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: $150 for art supplies; $500 for field trip
expenses.
Internship Possibilities: No
Travel Component: One overnight field trip plus possible two-
to three-week field trip during spring quarter.
This is a two-quarter study of sky, land and the place where
the two meet. The study is anthropological, historical and artistic.
Together we will read texts that describe the way in which people
of many cultures have used the horizon line to create place,
time, season and a romance between the celestial and the terrestrial
in art, poetry and the imagination. We will understand how the
horizon line creates points along which constellations, planets,
the sun and the moon appear to rise and set and how buildings
and stones have marked these points and now image-makers have
celebrated them.
During spring quarter we hope to study on site in Northern
New Mexico where we will give attention to Anasazi cultures
as a part of our group research. Faculty will provide workshops
in cultural anthropology, research methodology, drawing and
journal writing.
Credit awarded in cultural anthropology, anthropology of pre-historic
Southwest United States, drawing, art history and research methods.
Total: 12 or 16 credits winter quarter and 16 credits spring
quarter. Students may enroll in a four-credit course winter
quarter.
Program is preparatory for careers and future studies in arts
and humanities.
