When is it beneficial for many to speak as one?
What is a cause we want to speak for, and how can we convince others of its importance?
Course Summary
In this course we will explore how collective and individual voice can create social change. Focusing on visual representations of people working together towards a cause, our class will gain an understanding of the impact art can make in such efforts. Through collage, we will respond to literature addressing various use of voice such as The Jungle and The Color Purple. We will also look to the dynamic work of artists: Jacob Riis, Jacob Lawrence, and The Quilters of Gee's Bend as artistic advocacy. Students can expect to engage in rich literary discussion and practice towards skillfull artistic response. Skills assessed are: reading, oral presentation, and artistic expression.
