LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 20, 2015) — Students in one of the University of Kentucky's Core courses are using creativity to bring awareness to literacy. The students' flags, on display today for Lexington's Gallery Hop, are found around the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza, located between 120-150 N. Limestone in downtown Lexington.
In partial fulfillment of their "Pathways to Creativity" coursework, class instructors and their students have collaborated with UK's Common Reading Experience to visually express themes around the books the university has chosen for students the past three years. This year's CRE book, "Picking Cotton" by Jennifer Thompson and Ronald Cotton, is the account of a sexual assault and the conviction of an innocent man. The other two UK CRE books used as part of the project are "A Long Way Gone," a first-person account of a child soldier by Ishmael Beah, and "Where Am I Wearing?," a global tour to countries, factories and people that make today’s clothes by Kelsey Timmerman.
As part of the project, students in "Pathways to Creativity" attended Thompson and Cotton's lecture on campus in October, read excerpts from the books, and watched videos on the story behind the books to design their artwork.
The students completed their banners and installed them under the direction of UK School of Art and Visual Studies faculty members Ann Christianson, Beth Ettensohn, Marty Henton and Olivia Lussi.
The visual literacy project was made possible with support from Lori Houlihan, director of Arts and Cultural Affairs from Lexington's Office of the Mayor; Jamshid Baradaran, in the Department of General Services for Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government; Mike Wiley, project manager at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Complex; and Rhonda Henry, director of UK's VIP (Violence Intervention and Prevention) Center.
As a part of their intellectual inquiry through the Core curriculum, every UK student is required to complete coursework in the area of arts and creativity. “Creativity adds to the vitality and relevance of learning and will translate into graduates who are better prepared to face the challenges of a dynamic society.” (UK CORE Curriculum, 2010).
UK Core is the university's general education program, containing a set of requirements that must be completed by students of all majors in order to graduate. These requirements are focused on critical thinking, writing, reasoning, ethics and global understanding, which faculty of the university feel are essential for students to compete in the global marketplace. The "Pathways to Creativity" course as discussed above is focused on expanding student creativity and aims to prepare students for a range of disciplines.
The UK School of Art and Visual Studies in the UK College of Fine Arts is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the fields of art studio, art history and art education.
