38-1581J BIGart J-Session

BIGArt J-Session provides first-year students an introduction to the professional field of teaching artistry. After learning about the field and context of arts education as a whole, we will enter the field to serve as a teaching artist; Columbia students will work directly with young people in classroom and community organization settings on collaborative art projects. The end result of the course will be portfolio that documents the learning process and the outcomes of the project; we will also host a showcase for the Columbia College Community to share our work after J-Session concludes. This course also provides an introduction to (and applicable credit towards) a Teaching Artist minor.
