Class attendance, evaluation by professor and Radin Scholar, reflective writings, reflective painting assigment. Students work with middle school children in an economically depressed section of the Valley in order to sharpen skills learned in class while providing arts programming to an under-funded school. A series of watercolor workshops led by CSUN students are based directly on material covered in class. Service eliminates the need for written testing which is normally a requirement for this class. Workshops focus on skill and art history, while introducing possible careers in the arts.
Class culminates with a field trip to view professional watercolor paintings.
In-class by faculty and community supervisor. In past years, students have worked independently designing web sites for non-profit agencies in the Los Angeles area.
