Writing About the Arts
Schools of Public Engagement: Creative Writing
CRN: 15365
Credits: 3
This course is intended for anyone interested in writing arts criticism about music, film, architecture, painting, photography, sculpture, dance, literature, or any other art. This class is also for artists-musicians, photographers, composers, painters, architects, curators, designers, poets, actors, novelists, sculptors, dramatists, dancers, and filmmakers who are interested in pursuing writing that either reflects on their own artistic practices or that crosses and combines arts (writing and visual art, writing and music, writing and film, writing and design, etc.). Each week we will read some exemplary instances of arts writing by arts critics present and past, as well as by artists. This is a writing workshop with an emphasis on how we might intensify and augment our own writing about the arts across our various designated forms - whether essays, reviews, interviews, podcasts, websites catalogs, or multi-arts experimental projects.
