ART 465 - Creative Citizen

3 Credit(s)

An exploration of what we as creative problem solvers can do, on a large scale or in our own backyards, to make a difference through design. How can we demonstrate the value of design by doing valuable things? We analyze success stories of design making a difference in various cultures. There is an emphasis on the public good, sustainability, advocacy, service, and civic engagement through working with non-profit organizations. This course is an opportunity to leverage students’ skills and passions as designers to model engaged citizenship and actualize Quincy University’s mission as a Franciscan institution. Service-learning hours are available.
