Art in the Community
Art in the Community is for students interested in learning about the integral role art plays in their school and community. Students will explore and research how businesses and service organizations use art and the careers available to artists through contact with local companies, community groups, and artists. Students will create projects for our school and community through collaborations with FHS clubs and Franklin community groups outside of the school itself. As a culminating project, students are required to initiate their own art-based community service activities which might include teaching younger children or senior citizens, creating art works for a school or community based fund raiser, or designing informational materials such as logos, pamphlets, and/or posters for a local organization. Students will also assistant in the management of Gallery 218, Franklin Public Schools own K-12 art gallery. Creativity, craftsmanship, personal effort, critical thinking, sketchbooks, and monthly homework assignments are all included in the grading process. A consistent willingness to work collaboratively is especially important in this course and some projects may require time beyond the regular school day. Prerequisite: Successful completion with a grade of C or better in 3 semester art courses.
