Word-Art: Seeing beyond Black & White

Catalog description

We live in an age of visual culture. To be literate, we need to read and interpret words and images, as well as the interactions between them. Word-Art examines texts that combine words and images, such as graphic novels, illuminated books, and graphic poetry. Read and analyze word-art, and then create your own. The course is a double hybrid: word/image texts and critical/creative writing-designed to stimulate your critical and creative faculties. Take a creative approach to critical writing and apply critical thinking to your creative expression. Satisfies the Literary Studies, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric requirement. Prerequisites & Notes No credit if you have taken ENG 390
