Marvin James is an educator + facilitator who piloted a 10-week course with 8 students through Loyola Marymount University.

His curriculum for “The Creative Economy” investigated a convergence occurring between creative industries and the effect on companies and occupations that participate in the production of ideas.

The course was made up of workshops, conversations, and presentations. Below you’ll find a mix of on-screen prompts designed to guide the students throughout the semester. Below that is feedback from a student that gives perspective to the potential impact of this course.

“I also want to say thank you so much for this class, it has inspired me more than any other class I’ve taken in my whole life.

During the course of this class I picked up an entire new passion that I’ve always wanted to explore, portrait photography, and I invested in a bunch of new tools and spaces that will lead to more creative exploration in the future.

I hope you get to teach this course again or have the chance to impact other young creatives like you did with this course in the future!”
