Through Mellon Grant, an E-town Class Shares Artistic Views with Community<\/em><\/h4>\n

Elizabethtown College Peacemaker-in-Residence Jon Rudy and Associate Professor of Music Kevin Shorner-Johnson combined their expertise to form a new class to offer to students in the spring 2019 semester\u2014Artistic Peacebuilding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this unique course funded by a Mellon grant, students participate in various forms of art including music, dancing, and painting and then reflect on their changes and growth the experiences as a group and as individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt is a metaphor to gain a deeper understanding of an event or issue,\u201d said Rudy. \u201cIt creates space for a larger dialogue.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recently, the class met in the Baugher Student Center to paint a piano donated by a professor at the College to explore how art can change the disposition of a space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis activity is a collaborative art form,\u201d said Shorner-Johnson. \u201cWe\u2019re interested to see how it will build or change the group dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n

E-town freshman and art education major Grace Hardy developed the artistic design and drew it onto the piano before she and her classmates transformed the instrument into a colorful illustration of their collective ideas.<\/p>\n

“As we brainstormed themes, we came up with \u2018where flowers bloom so does peace,\u2019” Hardy said. “We thought it fit nicely with the concept of our class.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The piano will be on display at the BSC for the community to enjoy. It also will be used during the 2019 Ware Lecture on Peacebuilding<\/a> on Thursday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. The Elizabethtown College community will welcome SilkRoad<\/em>, a Grammy Award-winning group developed by Yo-Yo Ma that\u00a0seeks and practices radical cultural collaboration in many art forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
