In this course, students will explore the history, impact, and creativity of Art in Public. They will develop three projects that engage diverse public spaces and situations, by employing media of choice: sculpture, murals, architectural interventions, music, and performance. Through active exploration, students will enhance their ability to create meaningful artworks, from ideation, sketching and visualization to final proposal, empowering them as artists and as positive contributors to their communities. The course will explore different public art programs such as Highline Art, Public Art Fund, Art Omi, Creative Time, CARA and Socrates Sculpture Park among others and facilitate field trips. We will look at artist such as: Olaf Breuning, Christian Kosmas Mayer, Nicholas Galanin, Tony Oursler, Nancy Holt, Pamela Rosenkranz, Yu Ji, Paola Pivi, Zoe Leonard, Kara Walker, and Martin Puryear.
