Arts Writing Workshop: Visual Art - From Description to the Essay
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts
Description
This is an intensive writing workshop in which students write about the arts and analyze a broad range of cultural criticism from small literary journals, magazines, and national media outlets. A wide array of cultural expressions — performance and visual arts, film, dance, and music — are the focus of the reviews, essays, and articles. The workshop consists of open critiques of individual student writing in class; group projects in which the class attends and writes about an event; discussion and reports on selected critics; in-class collaborative projects; and visits to galleries and performance events. This course can satisfy an Arts program LINA (Interdisciplinary Arts) requirement, or a Visual Studies elective requirement.
