Drawing and Creative Writing

A dynamic mix of guided writing and drawing assignments, and self-driven studio time. We will get dirty with the ABCs of drawing while playing with freeing constraints and looking closely into the visual dimension of words. Through a spirited, daily practice students will learn how to trust and blast open the art that they ¿uniquely¿ make. Students will create their own semiotic games, word-shapes and poem-pictures. Investigating cross-pollinations, intersections and possibilities as points of departure, we will experiment with inventive tensions between visual and written images. We will look at (and write about) art history as artists.
