CCCX 210 Art, Design, and Change

In this course, students will explore concepts of community engagement within the practices of art and design. The class will examine how individuals and institutions collaborate to employ creative practices that address social justice. Students will learn skills, strategies and principles of social practice to build toward successful reciprocal engagements with community groups. Through a series of site visits, case studies and interviews, students will investigate the aesthetics, structure and practice of artists, performers and designers who seek to affect social change. Strategies for fundraising, assessment, research and reflection will be considered within the context of Chicago-specific projects.
