Mission Statement

 

How are art and public connected? What ways can art address a public issue? In what ways can one view these issues?

 

Art tends to contain messages, be they hidden or exposed. This project focuses on viewing public issues, be they social or environmental, in different lenses. Namely, these issues will be depicted in a setting resembling either fantasy or science fiction. Students will have the opportunity of interpret their selected issues in the perspectives of their own and those of their community.
