Abstract
This workshop for K-16 educators uses the community-based art education (CBAE) framework developed by the presenter to connect educational institutions with their local communities and build sustainable partnerships through arts-based intergenerational and transformative learning. 5 min—introduction to community-based art education, and how it can be used to develop sustainable asset-focused relationships between institutions and communities around ideas that matter. Participants will be introduced to the C.A.L.L. concept and E.R.E.C.T framework for using art to foster intergenerational and transformative learning. 2 min—Participants create an 8 page booklet. 10 min—Big idea collaborative brainstorming on the term “belonging” (demonstrates the relevancy of big ideas in designing curriculum for all ages). Facilitator writes down all responses on a large sheet of paper or board. Participants review all the ideas connected to “belonging” and create several like word groupings (no more than 5). 3 min—participants select one of the word groupings to work with. The whole group divides into smaller collaborative groups based on the word groupings selected. Facilitator asks participants to write down the words in their booklets. Facilitator explains the envisioning process—turning ideas into visual forms. Participants make preliminary sketches in their booklets for the words selected. 15 min—participants work in their small groups creating a unified visual illustrating their ideas about ‘belonging’ on a larger sheet of paper. 10—small groups report on their process. Discussion about the learning process and how this method can be used to connect various communities around shared goals.
