Course Catalog Description:
In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of creative writing. We will start by looking at the building blocks of good imaginative writing: image, voice, character, setting, story, and revision. We will then move on to a more in-depth examination of three forms: literary nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. Students will learn how to read as writers, obtain an understanding and appreciation for imaginative writing, and gain a sense of themselves as creative writers. We will be trying many exercises and assignments, from brainstorming experiments to final drafts, so come ready to write. prereq: Students may not audit this course
Class Description:
This introductory course is an opportunity for you to explore the craft of writing creatively. The name of this game is exposure and experimentation. With this in mind, you will be exposed to a range of styles and authors in the three main genres (poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction), and will explore creative expression through exercises and writing prompts. You will revise your creative work in response to feedback, and of course, will give feedback to your classmates as well. You’ll learn how to read as a writer; that is, with a close eye on craft and technique. At the same time, you will engage with the literary community by reading and listening to active local writers, and by visiting at least one public reading or event. Finally, you will reflect on your own creative processes and growth.
