Project Based Learning: Arts

Students learned to analyae critically how man-made environments affect the way we interact with each other and how this impacts our social world.

The guiding question was “How should society identify and treat the “other”?”

In groups of 4-5 members, students were asked to direct, edit, tape and design films that delivered audiences a truly cinematic experience.
