Through case studies of cities that have public art programs - some successful at citizen engagement others less so – the reader will learn how to design public art programs that build community.

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.
Download or read book Developing a Curriculum Model for Civically Engaged Art Education written by Sara Scott Shields and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores art as a means of engendering youth civic engagement and draws on research conducted with young people in the United States to develop a unique curriculum model for civically engaged art education (CEAE). Combining concepts from civics and arts education, chapters posit that artistic thinking, making, and acting form the basis for creative research into social and political issues which affect young people and are key to promoting civic participation. Focusing on critical, creative, and dynamic forms of youth cultural production inspired by local people, places, and events, the text demonstrates how educators’ curricular choices can engage students in researching social movements and arts-based activism. The authors draw from well-established areas such as arts-based research, civic engagement, and maker-centered learning to present their educational model through illustrative examples. Offering a timely consideration of the relationship between art education and civics education, this book will appeal to scholars and students of the sociology of education, as well as arts and teacher research, and pre-service teacher education.

Download or read book Civic Arts Practices written by Lynn Ann Kalsched Osgood and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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

This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help post-secondary educators to discover the joys and challenges of implementing theoretically grounded civic engagement projects on their campuses. The essays on civic engagement and public scholarship are written by an interdisciplinary group of community college faculty who have designed and implemented civic engagement projects in their classrooms. The projects they describe stand at the intersection of research, theory and pedagogy. They challenge dominant constructions of civic engagement as students bring their community, culture and history into the classroom. The authors consider the particular complexities and constraints of doing civically engaged teaching and scholarship at the community college level and situate their projects within current theoretical debates about civic engagement, public scholarship, and public higher education.

Download or read book Creating Community Murals written by Todd Robert Osborne and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago has a rich history of community-based public art, beginning with the Wall Of Respect in 1967 through contemporary works. Several of these murals have been lost to time, neglect or erasure. This research aimed to document the community murals created by Chicago Public Art Group (CPAG), and provide resources for artists, teachers and students interested in engaging with this approach. I asked: What are the impacts of CPAG’s murals, and the benefits and challenges of this community-based art approach? CPAG is a not-for-profit artists’ organization committed to creating high-quality community-based public art that was founded in 1971. Research was conducted at CPAG, mural sites in Chicago, and through conversations with various stakeholders. I am an artist with CPAG and an art teacher with Chicago Public Schools, so my experience has guided this research significantly. For three years, I have conducted historical and art-based research through an autoethnographic lens to create an accessible website about community murals. Autoethnography was the primary research method, based on my experience with CPAG as a community muralist. Historical research was culled from literary sources, photos, videos, and CPAG’s archive. I conducted arts-based research through creating photo and video documentation of projects by site visits, discussions, and interviews. This work also led to incorporating community-based murals into my high school curriculum. This research inspired the creation of an active and accessible website that I designed for colleagues interested in community murals. On this website I shared my findings, resources, documentation, and plan to continually develop its content. The research showed that these murals democratically present and address contemporary issues within the communities in which they are created, engage the public to participate and express their unique creative voices, and activate the urban landscape through the creation of dynamic artworks. CPAG’s work has made a meaningful impact on the communities involved in its projects, as evidenced by the compelling works of art and the community responses documented in the archives. CPAG has created hundreds of community public artworks involving thousands of people. This community-based art approach enriches the lives of participants and the audience through community engagement, beautification, activism, participation and collaboration, while developing art-making skills in a broader “non-art” context. Documentation of this work is important to preserve the content and process of these projects and to help protect them from future loss. I hope this research and website will contribute to the community-based spirit of CPAG’s art and inform the public about this significant work.
