Art 428 KSMoCA: Museum and Community

Students meet outside of the PSU campus at Dr. MLK Jr School in NE Portland to think critically about museums, education, site-specificity, and social topics. Students contribute to the operation of the King School Museum of Contemporary Art, and they lead reading discussions pertaining to topics associated with the museum, mentor elementary students, and help to install a museum exhibition. Collaboration, research, and participation are crucial elements of the course. This course is repeatable for up to 8 credits.
