ARTS 100 OxyArts Collaborate Workshop
The Oxy Arts ColLABorate Workshop will bring a teaching artist, Oxy students, local businesses, and youth from the neighboring Highland Park and Eagle Rock school districts together in creative collaboration. Through interactive, interdisciplinary workshops, led by a professional teaching artist, Oxy students will engage in the practice of curriculum development and teaching as they lead youth through an introduction to the creative process based on projects they will create in collaboration with local businesses.
Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with the teaching artist to lead/propose a 10-session weekly workshop to community youth, with the final session consisting of a public showing of the final projects. Oxy students and a teaching artist will collaborate with local businesses to create a syllabus and co-lead a 10-class workshop for elementary and middle school students that reflects the history, identity, and the manifold layers of the social and cultural fabric of the area around Occidental College. Permission of Director of Oxy Arts required.
