PCE 243 - Social Practice Art (4 cr.)
Art can be a medium for creative transformation, and this class explores the transformations that occur in socially engaged art, which blurs the distinction between life and art. Our focus is on making work about current social and cultural issues relevant to you, learning techniques and approaches to art, in particular art that engages the public outside of traditional art spaces. As part-studio, part seminar course, we will focus on artists’ forms of engagement, their aesthetic, practical, and ethicial skills and knowledge, applying what you learn in individual projects that blend research with art-making Our emphasis will be on developing your authentic voice and creating a community of practice that’s both nurturing and challenging. Last, classes will bring visiting artists and do studio visits whenever possible. We’ll look at why and how some artists combine, as Jeremy Deller describes it, “being an artist who makes things” with being “an artist who makes things happen.” Fall 2022 Ailish Hopper
