Students should complete the subject with a knowledge of issues such as the impact of exploitation of the environment by European means of production; the environmental impact of urban growth; responses to the landscape as reflected in the arts; and the desire to transform the landscape to conform to European perceptions. Students will go on to examine the emergence of environmental consciousness in Australia and current environmental issues. |
