ART 273 Community Service Through Art

This course integrates the theories of liberal arts education into the practice of community organizing. It provides an opportunity for student leaders in the arts and humanities to develop lesson plans, build arts advocacy skills, and gain real-life experience in community organizing and teaching for social justice. ART 273 is designed to explore community-based arts education through the experience of mentoring K-12 refugee children in an after-school setting, where English is the second language. Open to all art majors at any level or program area. Students outside of the Art Department are encouraged to register, with permission of instructor. Register for 1- or 3 credits in service learning, depending on your selected time commitment. Materials fee. Fall, Spring
