ARTIST AS WRITER explores the usage of the
written word to promote ideas, describe concepts,
illuminate issues, and for the further
development of personal expression. Through the
practice of writing, students will incorporate
various scripting techniques as well as be
presented with elements of narrative creation.
The course will introduce students to aspects of
writing suitable for print media, digital media,
the Internet, and other forms of propaganda.
Students will be encouraged to write for impact.
Through a series of lectures, conversations,
readings, and the practice of writing, students
will be presented with a variety of tasks that
should result in the enhancement of effective
targeted communication. ARTIST AS WRITER will
examine the possible effects that the dual role
of Artist and Writer can play in
local/national/global community of concerned
creative people. Students will be required to
read selected texts and be expected to write.
