Ever thought of art as something you do, not just something you see? This course turns the city into your canvas, using a 6-foot walking stick as your creative tool. We'll redefine what it means to move through a city, blending real-world exploration with digital creativity.
Forget sitting in a classroom for hours. We'll explore Seattle's hidden corners and famous landmarks, creating art projects that capture the city's unique spirit.

Each week, you'll team up with classmates to lead unique tours, mixing physical exploration with virtual adventures. We'll watch mind-bending short films about urban life and dive into readings that challenge how you see the world.
No art experience needed - just bring your curiosity and willingness to see Seattle in a whole new way. By the end of this course, you'll have transformed the city into your personal art studio, developing a deeper, more intimate connection to urban spaces and creative expression.
