Legacy Project

From Otis History

Jump to: navigation, search

This Liberal Arts and Sciences Integrated Learning course, The Otis Legacy Project, focuses on preserving and showcasing the rich oral history of Otis Alumni. In this course, seniors will conduct an educational research project, applying multidisciplinary methodologies in collecting, presenting and preserving oral histories. Learning outcomes include a written, visual, and audio record of Otis Alumni accomplishments, contributions to their fields, and the historical context affecting their works. Scheduled class time will be adjusted, so students can attend occasional weekend classes and events, field trips, and guest lectures. Students will meet illustrious Otis Alumni who shaped art and design history, who lived their dreams, and who serve as models for the next generation of artists and designers.

This project is under the direction of Joan Takayama-Ogawa, Perri Chasin, and Debra Ballard.
