Book excerpt: Within the planning profession, the arts and culture sector has been emerging over the past a decade as a vital component of urban and rural planning processes. Once considered to be only adjacent to the more central issues of housing, economic development, and infrastructure planning, the arts sector is now becoming an integrated part of each of these areas of practice. Planning frameworks most often incorporate arts and culture in the form of “discrete elements,” such as the creation of a public art piece, or the formation of a cultural district or performing arts center; however, this framework for how the arts can serve municipal development has changed rapidly within the past few years. Today, an emerging set of practices are starting to take shape where the arts and culture sector works in partnership with municipalities to co-produce projects around mutually understood goals. In this dissertation, I analyze this other dimension of professional planning practice, when arts professionals work in collaboration with municipal staff to further urban and rural development goals. This dissertation is structured in two parts. After contextualizing practices within the intersection of the planning discipline and the newly emerging field of creative placemaking, the first part of the research looks directly to practitioners to understand the broader set of practices that make up a subfield of emerging practices artists and planners work in direct collaboration to achieve mutual goals. Through a year-long Delphi process, a set of 50 professionals from the arts and planning sectors were interviewed and surveyed to find out how their projects came together, what the dynamics were between professionals from divergent backgrounds, and how each set of professionals viewed the effects of their work. After developing a broader understanding of the different dimensions of these collaborative practices, the second part of the research narrows the focus to look specifically at a three-year case study that focused on the specific issues of civic engagement and civic capacity-building that surround a particular municipal issue

Download or read book Promoting Civic Engagement Through Art Education written by Flávia Bastos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook equips students and educators committed to understanding how art and creative practice work as powerful communicative tools and have a substantial role in advancing civic participation. Alongside promoting educational practices with learners’ civic engagement in mind, this book is a call to action, inviting creative educators to explore the potential of art for developing critical perspectives, articulating voices and diverse points of view, and engaging in dialogue across difference. Chapters assist students and educators in understanding critical concepts ranging from the protections afforded art under the constitution, to the role of civic institutions such as museums, community arts centers, and schools in advancing civic participation. They also present the relationship between art, education, and civic engagement using watershed political moments such as voter suppression initiatives, xenophobic reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, and widespread national Black Lives Matter protests. Readers are guided throughout with a series of key questions at the onset of each chapter and encouraged to investigate further the issues discussed through exploration of the many resources embedded in each chapter. Coursework and participatory learning experiences that orient future and current art educators to the relationship of the arts and culture to democracy are also featured. This book will be ideal for students in art education in both upper division undergraduate and graduate levels, with cross-curricular appeal for students of political science, social studies, sociology, public history, public anthropology, heritage studies, and public humanities. As well as this, it will be a must read for educators who are asked to respond to challenges within the political sphere, and how these political challenges are influencing educational environments.

This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology shares educational practices to engage young people in critical digital media consumption and production.

Section I of the book explores philosophical and conceptual approaches to teaching civic participation via digital media and technologies in various educational settings, Section II focuses on the participatory civic approaches in K-16 art education classrooms, and Section III outlines these approaches for arts-based community settings (after school programs, camps, online sites). Throughout, authors reference different technologies – video, digital collage, glitch, game design, mobile applications, virtual reality, and social media – and offer in-depth discussions of pedagogical processes and exemplary curriculum projects. Building on National (NAEA) and State Media Arts Standards, the educational practices outlined facilitate students’ media literacy skills and digital citizenship awareness in the art classroom and provide a solid foundation for teaching civic-minded media making. Ideal for art and media educators within preservice and higher education spaces, this book equips readers to prepare their students to be thoughtful and critical producers of their own media that can effectively advocate for social change.

Download or read book What We Talk about when We Talk about Civic Engagement written by Nicolás Rodriguez Melo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we talk about when we talk about civic engagement? And what happens when we talk about it from the particular point of view of higher education art institutions? This thesis acknowledges the complexity of civic engagement when organized by art institutions, especially when the main vehicle for the engagement are design and artistic practices due to the difficulty that exists when trying to measure the impact of these practices in society. At the same time, there's an awareness in it of the constant flux of working with communities: society is ever-changing, and civic and socially engaged art practices are rooted in the past, present, and future of these specific landscapes, so adaptability to constant change is one of the biggest challenges in the field. Because of this, instead of trying to decipher a one-size-fits-all method for these practices, this thesis aims to provide a snapshot of a few models of civic engagement from academic art institutions in this point in time. This snapshot is informed by the current (2018) political climate, funding trends, challenges in contemporary higher education, and the evolution of civic engagement itself. This snapshot will be informed by case studies developed through interviews with directors from five civically aimed offices and initiatives inside of Art Schools. Interviews include: JD Beltran, Director of the Center for Impact at the California College for the Arts; Jaclyn Jacunski, Director of Civic Engagement at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Aileen Wilson, Director of the Center for Community Engagement K-12 at the Pratt Institute; Maggie Villegas, Director of the Baltimore Creatives Accelerator Network at the Maryland Institute College of Art; and Lauren Pearson Assistant Director of the Arts Research Center at the University of California at Berkeley.
