This Mural class approaches the college website as a virtual campus composed of virtual public walls and/or public sites, that the mural class will develop with a collaborative virtual mural. The overarching theme of the virtual mural is “what responsibilities individuals have toward their community.” As the college begins to reopen during the pandemic -- developing hybrid classes, opening student residencies, shops, etc., students, faculty, and staff take responsible daily actions on the campus like social distancing, regularly washing hands, and wearing masks. However, there are also individual behaviors that each person can take while off campus that can increase or decrease the risk to the on-campus community. Students in the Mural Art class will analyze and weigh these concerns to visually express how individual choices impact others, especially those that form the CCA learning community, “our team of 2,200,”* to adapt Prime Minister Jacinda Arden’s phrase when referring to New Zealand. The course would work with campus partners to support efforts already underway to build a healthy and proactive campus culture in response to the ongoing pandemic that could foster community norms, and also help orient prospective and incoming students, or anyone interested in the art school. Mural students would interview other students, faculty, administrators, staff, in order to design from a foundation that represents a good cross section of the college. The class would work with website staff to produce a practical and interactive addition to the website.
