Art and Culture across
the Curriculum
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course investigates
connections among the arts (particularly visual arts), culture, and
communities.
Students will spend little time
in the IU South Bend campus classroom. Rather, they will visit and explore
the resources of area museums and cultural attractions such as the Japanese
gardens in Mishawaka. Regional artists will do presentations about the
cultural connections in their artwork.
Teachers will create an
interdisciplinary unit based on state standards. Other students will design
a project to bring art and cultural diversity into their communities.
Lesson Starters, a tool created collaboratively by Jessi Lentych at the
SBRMA and Dr. Marsha Heck of IU South Bend, will be a primary tool for the
course.
The
interdisciplinary, project-based nature of the course makes it appropriate
for individuals with all levels of experience including those with little
arts or diverse cultural backgrounds. Students will have the opportunity to
network with like-minded individuals.
