Hello Writing for the Arts Students!
We're now coming up to the middle of the semester, so I thought I'd give you a preview of two projects we'll work on when we get back from spring recess.
"Writing for the Arts" encompasses all kinds of writing, not just expository prose (so-called regular paragraphs). Two upcoming assignments prove that there's more to the intersections of writing and art than critical or art-historical writing.
ZINE PROJECT: Each student will make their own photocopied zine that incorporates original writing and original art/design. Check out this video.
DELAWARE CONTEMPORARY PROJECT: Each student will choose one work from the current exhibition "Narrative" at the Delaware Contemporary, and make a piece of art in dialogue with it. The final and most important step will be to write a text (could be poetry, story, analysis, political activism, combined genres, etc.) Curators at the Delaware Contemporary are going to choose the winning projects. These students will be invited to participate in a public event at the Delaware Contemporary in early May, and also have their work displayed. Take a sneak peak at some of the work online.
