Technical skills introduced in the course will include mold making, mosaic tile setting, and design strategies for large scale works. There will be field trips to local public art installations as well as Middletown City Hall to meet with members of the Middletown Commission on the Arts. Students will learn about finding funding sources and will review existing grants and grant opportunities. This is a hands-on course that will involve working with members of the Middletown community. |
