Abstract

Safety protocols for COVID-19 necessitated changes to this action research project. This article describes the theoretical framework of Community-Based Art Education for providing Service-Learning in an art education preparation program during the global pandemic. Art education students joined the local Boys & Girls Club (BGC) and a local community arts center to explore the idea of social justice and intercultural harmony by creating a mural through completely remote means. Eight art education students mentored eight BGC youth during weekly Zoom sessions to complete the 16-panel mural. Participants expressed their perceptions about different aspects of the project during focus group interviews. The installation of the mural in the local library was covered by local media as children and mentors presented the final project.

摘要

COVID-19 的安全协议需要对该行动研究项目进行更改。本文描述了以社区为基础的艺术教育的理论框架，用于在全球大流行期间在艺术教育准备计划中提供服务学习。艺术教育学生加入了当地的男孩女孩俱乐部 (BGC) 和当地社区艺术中心，通过完全远程的方式创作壁画，探索社会正义和跨文化和谐的理念。八名艺术教育学生在每周的 Zoom 课程中指导八名 BGC 青年完成 16 幅壁画。参与者在焦点小组访谈中表达了他们对项目不同方面的看法。当地媒体报道了在当地图书馆安装壁画的过程，孩子们和导师们展示了最终项目。
