Highlighting Public Art in The Bronx (www.lehman.edu/vpadvance/artgallery/publicart/), these workshops conclude with a large-scale, collaborative artwork that is permanently installed in the school.  Materials may vary from glass or tile mosaics to painted murals and found object assemblage. These workshops not only teach students a wide range of art skills, but are also structured to develop democratic thinking and cooperative learning in the studio. Students develop their own design ideas, discuss the possibilities, vote, and then work together in small groups to produce the final piece. Strategies for linking the art workshops with the school curriculum are discussed with classroom teachers. When the final work is installed, students discover the impact of public art on their community.
