Arts Collaboration: Designing Solutions for Art, Work, and Life - Honors   (#0102340)

Version Description

Students in this inquiry-based course use arts processes to explore and imagine new connections and/or postulate solutions to real-world problems. Using a combined seminar, studio, and business management approach, this teacher-facilitated, yet highly independent setting requires that students use their individual strengths and interests in one or more arts, in combination with other content areas and current and emerging technology as needed, to examine local, cultural, historical, technical, and/or global interests relative to life and work in a creative, global economy. Significant independent research, class discussion, and analysis are required.

General Notes

Time, materials, and technologies needed for project development should be provided to students to the greatest extent possible. This course requires significant independent research and project development, some of which may necessitate out-of-school and/or off-campus class work. Interaction with an individual and/or group for consultation, project development, or service may also require out-of-school and/or off-campus time. In-person interaction is strongly encouraged; frequency and distance may determine the degree to which technology-supported interaction is necessary in place of, or in addition to, face-to-face interaction.

Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work. Through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted, students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning.
