ARU 525:
CENTRAL PARK: Public
Spaces and Civic Culture
July 30 - August 3, 2012
KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY is pleased to
offer Central Park: Public Spaces and Civic Culture.
Public spaces are fundamental
to the development of both high culture and civic culture. Their
design, construction, and evolving use contribute to the
possibilities they hold for community identity. One
of the great public spaces is Central Park, designed by
Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux.
Its
variety of landscapes, features, and adjacent Institutions,
such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provide
opportunities for both residents and tourists to belong to
city and to experience culture.
This Institute will focus on Central Park as an exemplar of
public spaces and the civic culture that values these
initiatives. Institute
participants will study the history of the park, experience
the park through trips to New York City, and draw relations
between the park, the city, the museum collections,
artworks, and public actions. Public spaces and public art will be a topic to be
considered in theoretical and practical frameworks as
applied to teaching and learning.
STUDY INSTITUTE PROGRAM
Daily sessions begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m.,
with the exception of trips into NYC when we will leave at
7:30 and return around 10 p.m.
The institute will meet in Sharadin Arts Building
room 113. Please
note that the institute is strictly limited to 14
participants.
Limited enrollment for Act 48 non-credit students.
