This class is designed to work as a creative think tank, employing the talents of young artists in a real-world interaction with a local Nonprofit Organization or NGO. Students from Photography, Film, Illustration, and Graphic Design, are invited to work in collaboration, to produce media for use as social media content and as targeted campaigns.
One or two nonprofits will be chosen and the class will work as a team to tackle the needs of the organization(s). Student work will be scheduled taking into account skills, interests, and ability to accomplish specific tasks.
The class will also introduce the process of producing a personal project in partnership with an NPO/NGO-including community partnership and funding.
Whether as a primary focus, or part of a mosaic of professional production, many media producers see incorporating sociopolitical engagement into their work as a necessary aspect of sustaining a healthy, long-term career.
