F455i Writing and Practice: Art-ing Across Genres
March 1 — April 5th 2021 / 6 weeks
PROFESSOR / Anastacia-Renee / writenow2day@hotmail.com
COURSE INFORMATION
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).
Here is the breakdown as stated above:
– March 01 – asynchronous session
– March 08 – live session
– March 15 – asynchronous session
– March 22 – live session
– March 29 – asynchronous session
– April 05 – live session
New course sessions post weekly on Mondays. Courses meet in the online studio — a digital space that allows enrolled artists to come together and share their experiences. Live sessions and group video meetings will take place on Jitsi Meet, but the majority of discussion will take place in the online studio, where artists may participate as their schedule allows, providing more scheduling freedom.
During the first week, each artist will discuss their goals with the professor and begin with two writing prompts. A digital studio packet will be sent to the professor and realistic outcomes and deadlines will be discussed during weekly feedback. Peer discussions will be shared in the online studio.
The course will include weekly group, and one-on-one feedback sessions from your professor in either written, audio or video form. Weekly peer discussions in the online studio are also an important part of this course. The online studio will house all group discussions with peer artists and the professor. One-on-one feedback will be provided by your professor by email.
Your own workspace is required for this course, but can obviously take any form that is available to you. Access to the internet is required. Writers will be asked to spend a minimum of 2 hours per week to obtain their art-ing across the genre goals with an additional 30-90 minutes discussing the week and commenting on fellow writers work.
