The student is then placed into community setting to engage in community based art projects in collaboration with community needs and/or issues, The Projects have taken a range of forms: i.e., murals, video presentations, collages, photography, graphic design, artists books, ”zines”, performances, architectural models. Students have worked with, among others: . Prison Radio Project and Mumia Abu Jamal, . Neighborhood Parks Council. . Milestones Recovery Center . Planned Parenthood . Tenderloin Hospitality House . Faithful Fools . Habitat for Humanity . AAA Road Rage . Nor-Cal recycling Center; the SF “dump.” . St. Anthony’s Immaculate Conception Elementary School . ArtSpace, with Fr. River Sims and the homeless youth on Polk St. in San Francisco . SPCA . Mission Cultural Center . Food Not Bombs . Project Open Hand . International Action Center (IAC) . Snowboarding and Breast Cancer Benefit . Media representations. . McDonalds Corporation. The student may also identify a range of issues and identify the appropriate agency or community partner to work with, such as: . An anorexic/bulimic group . Drug and alcohol use on a college campus . Teen pregnancy . Environmental issues . Issues around Ddepression . Issues around loneliness Class, Introduction and Intermediate Drawing In Intermediate Drawing I focused on figure drawing and the enormous history of this throughout western art history. I ask the students to “see” how the figure was drawn in the 15th c. and how it is drawn in the 20th c. and how this reflects changing cultural values. I ask them to draw the figure these different ways. Class, Installation/Public Art The student creates a project for a public space; an interactive experience, a range of media from fixed and static to media driven to performance and to understand how this “new form” emerged and why. Students have created work at: . Ocean Beach, . Aquatic Park, . USF campus, . Golden Gate Park …with the intention of intervening in, and understanding, the use of public space.
