In this course, students will work in tandem with a Green Bay nonprofit to administer arts activities to individual elderly and disabled clients and collaborate with them in creative exploration and communication. The course emphasizes engagement as service and explores how arts activities and human interactions improve quality of life, communication and expression in the elderly and disabled. Training is coordinated by the community nonprofit; students meet with clients throughout the semester and document their experiences through journaling, reflective writing, exhibitions of art work and responses to readings. Students give presentations on their experiences as their final project.
