MEDIA & CONTENT CREATION FOR EDUCATION
SPECIAL TOPICS COURSE
The course created a series of collaborative elementary-middle schools school self-portrait workshops and content where students learn to embrace the beauty in their differences through self-portrait, game play, storytelling, and learning about artists from diverse and/or underrepresented communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Women). Digital media, Design and Fine Art were used as a therapeutic mechanism for expression, conversation and change. The outcome of the year long course will be released in free online workshops for educators, parents, and others.
