Theories/School-BasedCounselng

This course will examine major theories of counseling and psychotherapy by reviewing their historical contexts; views of human nature; key concepts; major techniques; therapeutic processes; social, cultural, and spiritual issues; and how effective the theoretical apporaches are. The theories will be highlighted through case studies, videos avaiable from Cognella?s Active Learning that shows brief role plays of the theories, a website that illuminates some of the theorists, a website that assesses your view of human nature, and through the use of vignettes.

Art and Code

This studio course explores the creative possibilities of code-based art. Students explore interactive artwork using both analog and digital processes; learn computer programming fundamentals in an arts context; and gain an understanding of procedural, generative, and algorithmic logic as seen within a range of art and design practices. While we will be working in the Web browser with p5.js, a JavaScript framework built with artists and designers in mind, the skills learned in this class can be applied to a variety of programming languages and softwares.
