| This interdisciplinary course provides students
with an opportunity to bring about positive change
on campus and in their own lives through art as
social practice. Art in this sense expands beyond
the constraints of traditional media (painting,
drawing, genre-bound writing, etc.)-as well as
limited definitions of art/artist/writer itself-to
engage in forms of intentional, experimental, and
often DIY forms of making, doing, and community
building. Within and beyond the classroom and
across majors, this course combines individual
research, group work, and experiential learning to
find new ways to engage with everyday life, art,
and the community. Together, we'll slow down;
advance individual and collective wellness; and
discover opportunities for new forms of
engagement. No experience with art necessary. Fulfills requirement: Humanistic Perspectives,Civic Engagement. 3 credits. |
