ART-365 Design and Community Development

In this course the student will apply best practices of design stewardship using existing art and community resources to solve human centered design problems. The student will explore community needs and analyze how design could alleviate or address a specific community design problem. Through their research they will also participate in a community service learning project. All of these actions combine to help acquire a design process based in Empathy-Define-Ideate-Prototype-Test. The format of the course will require fieldwork directly with a community contact/organization. Prerequisite: ART-224.
