Creative Reuse

Instructor Name:

Course Description: 

This class typically facilitates a Creative Reuse S.U.N. after school art class at Vestal Elementary School for Social Justice.   During Covid 19 remote instruction this class will operate slightly differently.  We will have scheduled remote meetings on Thursday from 2-450 with up to 3 hours a week of homework a week due on Wednesday nights before class.  We will work with SCRAP (School and Community Reuse Action Project) to develop creative reuse video lessons for elementary students for their website and we will lead one afterschool remote art lesson for the students at Vestal School for Social Justice

In addition to working with our community partner to teach after school art activities, capstone students will make their own final art projects with reuse material. In 2014 we had an art show of final capstone student art projects at SCRAP.  To view past student final projects see the link below:
