F455i Writing and Practice: Art-ing Across Genres

Working primarily with text, we will push beyond recalling our memories by blending them with poetic devices to create prose and formatted poems. We’ll discover inventive ways to achieve vivid storytelling, personal archiving, and limitless point of view while creating contemporary forms of poetry. Participants will complete class with one lengthy piece and two shorter pieces as a springboard for larger works or works in progress beyond class. In weeks five and six we will discuss the ways in which these pieces can be transformed into art installations and write first drafts of a project statement.

All new sessions will post on Mondays. This course will include half live sessions. Live sessions will meet on Mondays – March 8th, March 22nd, April 5th – from 1.5 hours from 6-7:30p EST (US).
