Teaching studio art through service learning projects that address the challenges of accessibility opens a pathway to critical thinking using creative expression.

Proposal

This presentation highlights examples of studio art-based service learning projects that integrate visual communication, creative expression, and learning accessibility. This was a two step process: 1) Partnering with local organizations that serve various populations in need, and 2) Tailoring studio art projects that address accessibility issues and incorporate teaching the fundamentals of visual expression. These strategies ranged from in-person to hybrid and fully online delivery. The populations served included adults with cognitive disabilities, blind and visually impaired persons, survivors of child abuse and neglect, and hospice patients.
