Into the classroom: Student engagement and achievement via a contemporary, interdisciplinary curriculum

With nearly 10 years of service with the Kentucky School of Art (KSA) and at the Kentucky College of Art + Design (KyCAD), Andrew Cozzens has contributed to the evolution of the institution as an independent art college. With experience teaching studio art courses to students at all undergraduate levels, Cozzens has applied his knowledge of foundations and capstone pedagogies as well as the core elements of his own contemporary art practice in the classroom. As he presents, Cozzens will describe application of new and evolving curricula with his students, how KyCAD undergraduates subsequently process and evolve ideas, and what circumstances today’s art educators might consider as enrollments and inspirations change.
