Description:

The social construct of art can give students experiences that connect practice with reflection, the personal with the social, and "enable them to confront otherness." This course has a large service-learning component that incorporates the arts. The course encourages students to connect meaningfully with the community and understand arts power to communicate a social, political, spiritual and cultural message. Students will collaborate to create a piece of art for a nonprofit organization located in under-served communities. This art can take numerous forms, from paint to mosaics to installation. A central objective of this course is to provide students with experiences and reflection opportunities that allow them to deepen their understanding of both their own community and communities around them.
