    Engaging with the Visual Arts
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2013-04-05) Basile Center for Art, Design and Public Life
    The Basile Center for Art, Design and Public Life is the primary contact point at Herron School of Art and Design for people in the community who want to partner with Herron and its faculty and students on creative projects. The Basile Center receives and assesses inquiries to determine the appropriateness and feasibility of incorporating potential projects into an academic curriculum in order to give students professional practice opportunities. The Basile Center’s poster will highlight two multidisciplinary projects that were completed during the 2011-2012 academic year. One project that the poster will highlight is a partnership with Dow AgroSciences, a biotechnology company that develops and produces agricultural products that improve the health and growth of crops around the world. Dow AgroSciences commissioned one large-scale outdoor sculpture, three benches, and two 2-dimensional artworks for their expanded facility on the northwest side of Indianapolis. The other project that will be featured on the Basile Center’s poster is a partnership with the IU Health Neuroscience Center, a brand new facility in downtown Indianapolis where patients can be treated for neurological conditions related to a wide variety of causes, including Alzheimer’s Disease, stroke, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, and more. The IU Health Neuroscience Center commissioned benches and a 3-dimensional, site-specific installation. Through these two examples, the Basile Center’s Research Day poster will illustrate the process of such partnerships from the time the students propose their ideas to community partners to the time when they install their artworks on-location.

    Re-thinking recruitment for community-based research using service design methods: CLIC*: Communicating Life in Our Community/Communicando la vida en nuestra comunidad
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Sanematsu, Helen
    In summer 2011 the IU School of Medicine along with faculty from the Herron School of Art and Design embarked upon a study to learn more about the lives of Latino Adolescents and how to better engage them in research. While Communicating Life in Our Community / Communicando la vida en nuestra comunidad (CLIC) was developed to assist with research project recruitment in the Near West Side, the methods used in the study also point to a way to start a bi-directional, mutually beneficial dialogue between residents of Indianapolis and the School of Medicine. In effect, the CLIC study methods extended the scope of the project and built on its potential to extend to overall community development. Using methodology from design research, participants told the story of their daily lives with photography, video, blogs, and drawings. Through such activities, community participants in CLIC and researchers together started to develop an infrastructure for ongoing, bi-directional and mutually beneficial engagement.
