Public Art: Ideas to Action
Lecture/discussions and Practicum to offer students the tools to bring public art ideas to life.
Course description: this series of workshops will explore the processes of creating public artwork. Students will learn the basics of concept development, art administration and logistical considerations, community engagement, funding, and possibilities of creating work in different places. This is a good class for anyone with any public art ideas. This may include murals, light installations, pop-up experiences, sculpture, performance and soundscape. By the end of the class, students will have completed a narrative and project management spreadsheet for their own public art project and be ready to propose their project for funding and/or permitting purposes.
