520 $a This research demonstrates that linking courses in the arts and humanities with service-learning is worthwhile for participants, supporting the fundamental human right of freedom of expression in the life of a community.
520 $a A service-learning project at a Northwest community college engaged college art students studying three-dimensional design with children in a nonprofit after-school arts program linked with a homeless shelter. In pairs, adults and children discussed and created small sculptures based on the thirty Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). The finished permanent sculpture in the college library is a spiral of thirty pairs of plaster-cast hands cradling thirty colorful sculptures.
520 $a The pedagogy of service-learning---which links relevant and needed community service with academic learning---has grown in the past two decades from grade school through college and in courses across the curriculum. Despite this trend, few journals have published articles on service-learning in the arts and humanities. Yet community service-learning connected to the humanities is a clear match, since art expresses community values.
520 $a The subject of the artwork was inspired by this Inland Northwest community's history, since over the last three decades people in the region have fought actively against and prevailed over white supremacy. The sculpture symbolizes the unity of children, college students, the college, and the community in expressing the importance of human rights.
520 $a This qualitative study is centered in a constructivist paradigm featuring a mixed-method design. It is a case study of community college art students engaged in service-learning. The research illuminates John Dewey's theory presented in Art as Experience (1935), in which he argues that experience with the arts unites people through the creative process and aesthetic response, strengthening communities. The analysis of data is guided by Dewey's theory and is based on interviews, observations, content analysis of artwork and writing, and a pre-and post study of college students' attitudes toward community service (Diaz-Gallegos, Furco, & Yamada, 1999). The results describe the service-learning experience in detail, and the discussion develops themes on the importance of the creative process for connecting individuals, communicating meaning, and uniting community.
