CONN 151 | Art in the Everyday

How do we experience, visualize, and think about the everyday? What are components of our everyday lives and lenses through which to understand them? How does creativity contribute to our well-being and sense of community and support academic and extracurricular commitments? We will look at the ways that everyday lives and culture are made visible. Through student art projects, multidisciplinary readings, reflective writing, and discussion, we will give attention to our own environments, roles, and activities. Reflecting upon our commonplace habits, and experimenting with some new ones, we will also consider how pausing, attention, and creativity allow us to engage as students and humans. Additionally, we will connect to campus resources and explore skills for navigating college.
