Art and Images for
Non-Art classes:
It is Easy for Faculty to Bring Classes to Rosenberg Library to Engage with Art and Images
Downloadable assignments!
Do you worry that students bombarded by images in the media are passively consuming culture? Help your students become active participants in cultural production by responding to exhibitions in the CCSF Libraries: Rosenberg and John Adams Libraries.
A new downloadable handout helps students carefully look at library exhibitions, and for some assignments, drawing what they see. Exhibitions in the library reflect the concerns of the whole City College Community and the assignment makes it easy for instructors to guide students as they practice carefully observing and responding ideas through images.
Faculty can send students on their own (perhaps as extra credit) or accompany students to the Rosenberg Library.
