ART 200 - Art & Community (SYS) (1)

In this course, students will investigate the relationship between visual art and the community. We will consider what community can mean within the discipline of visual art and how art can bring about greater consciousness within a community. How can art be a form of community activism? In what ways can artists give back to and intersect with the community through artwork? We will explore how the process of making collaborative art can build community. We will consider the impact current events that affect communities influence how artists work. Students will investigate these questions through a series of visual art projects. Pertinent artists and artworks will be considered in relation to the projects. A variety of media will be used to create works of art. Only open to sophomores.
