UMFA in the Wild Online

See the list of in-person UMFA in the Wild events here.

UMFA in the Wild is a program that aims to show how art and nature are intertwined. If you can't meet us in the wild places around Utah to experience creating art with inspiration from nature, follow along with these online activities at home.

Nightscape painting of two trees with a full moon in the sky between them.
Nightscapes

Artwork of the land is called a landscape, and when it is shown at night it is sometimes called a nightscape. Look at art depicting the night and then make your own masterpiece. 

A landscape of a lake with a dock in the foreground. Low bushes are on the left foreground and tall trees on the right middle ground. Tall mountains are in the background with a small island in the middle of the lake. In the sky is a large full moon and the moon is reflected in the lake. Clouds surround the moon. The whole painting is cast in a bluish light showing that it is almost nighttime.
Moon Viewing and Sketching

Learn about the Asian tradition of Moon Viewing and be inspired by art depicting the moon.
