| Description: | Students will work with Artist-In-Residence Justin Favela, a well-known Guatemalan- Mexican- American Artist whose work is about identity, place, and culture. He mixes popular culture with traditional piñata making techniques to create large scale murals with a recent installation at the Smithsonian link here. Students will work closely with Favela in the gallery during his installation, research his work, influences and become fluent in his process. A central component of the course focuses on gallery-based arts learning and K-12 engagement. Students will become the "resident experts" and design and lead guided gallery field trips for K-12 groups. During the second half of the semester, students will implement these plans by helping to lead exhibit tours and facilitate creative projects for visiting school groups students will partner with a local community organization to design and carry out a creative project that supports the organization's mission. This may include facilitating workshops, developing participatory art experiences, or contributing to community programming in collaboration with partners such as local libraries, museums, preschools or senior centers. Throughout the semester, students will explore the role of arts education locally and globally, examine research on the impact of arts learning, and engage with regional museum educators and arts administrators. The course emphasizes the development of community arts leadership skills, preparing students for future work in community organizations, nonprofit arts institutions, and educational settings while fostering meaningful connections between Wabash College and the broader community.
