New in CANu: Syllabi on Eco-art, Labor & Art

Two syllabi have been added to the CANuniversity collection of resources in community-based art education. They come from Beverly Naidus in Washington. Naidus is an associate professor of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at U.W. Tacoma. She contributed a syllabus for "Eco-art: Art in Response to the Ecological Crisis" from Spring 2007, examining the eco-art movement and exercising the artistic voice "to express concerns about the world we live in." The course involves journal keeping, experiments with the four elements, a collaborative project and an oral presentation on an eco-artist's work. She also contributed the syllabus for "Labor, Globalization and Art" from Winter 2008, requiring numerous activities that help look at labor issues in relation to global justice: reading of e-reserve articles, a journal, photo/text and mixed-media projects, a collaborative puppetry project and a research project. Bibliographies are included. [LINK]
