0.50 Credit(s)
Studio/Seminar
Prerequisite: ASOC 2B01 Art & Social Change 1 and Contemporary Issues: Art Today, CRCP 2B01, DRPT 2B13, INTM 2B22, PHOT 2B12, PRNT 2B25, or SCIN 2B09
The course uses a one-room schoolhouse model where students support the learning of students enrolled in Art and Social Change I. Year two’s emphasis is on the application of knowledge and skills acquired in year one to art based projects in the field. Students produce artworks in various disciplines arising from an engagement with social and environmental issues. Guest speakers, field trips, readings, collaborative and individual studio assignments facilitate an understanding of activism, ethics and community engagement towards a critical and reflective art practice. The course also involves an intensive weekend workshop in which students explore issues and frameworks.
