Community? Engagements? Arts? Well, for starters this is a class taught at Transylvania University in Lexington, KY by professors Kremena Todorova and Kurt Gohde. The goal of this class is to form a relationship with the community by engaging in artistic projects with the community. The outcome of this will manifest itself in many ways, some recognizable and others not so much.
Can you create a process that is inclusive, can you make a meaningful project to people in the community, and can you bring it into the world?
ReplyDeleteCommodifying a project. CETA flips the switch on that. It is just as much about the process and bringing people together.
The process is not quantifiable
How can we very subtly move towards a product while setting some boundaries
Limit ourselves to six lessons in case on snow or other conflicts of schedule.
-Data Collection of Common Good students
Areas that students are interested in:
11 photography
9 video
6 art/design
0/0 writing/interviewing
Common Good students will do the fun stuff
Like to talk about their own journey and their story
What do we think would be the ingredients we will be gathering and creating in this class?
-Work with the physical objects that have been created along the way? Fun activities with those objects?
Emily Cecil- Doing interpretations of these past projects
-Look at one year of CETA group by group. Break the kids down and assign them a year. Your group of three you work with the whole time.
Rebecca- To go back to the process as opposed to the project. Objects not as important. Building relationships. Important part of history is what is left?
Heath had the idea of a story book.
Theme of the week is same. Product might be different. We have a physical something that we are working on. Making a page in a scrapbook.
Emily Ellis- Scrapbook will miss the nuances of the project. Be harder to get the pieces of what makes us human.
CETA will do interviewing- We will talk to 2 or 3 alumni and ask them some questions
