LC 290 - Learning Community: Mentoring Through Art – Theory and Practice

Three Credits
Fall and Spring Semesters

This LC is a unique year-long immersion in art, community service and sociology. Students are paired with “kids at risk” from the greater Brockton area to create photographic-based art projects and to act as mentor to a child. To further students’ understanding of their outreach experience, they will take CRM 432 Seminar: At-Risk Families and Youths , in the Spring, and explore the issues involved in at-risk adolescence. No experience in photography or social work is required. You will learn the basics of photography while building an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. Students with an interest not only in art but in Sociology, Psychology, Art Therapy and Education, all are encouraged to participate.

Corequisite(s): Students must also take   and   as part of this Learning Community.
