WRITING FOR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE (ELR) (WIC)

Catalog description

Course explores writing for creative professionals, including designers, photographers and illustrators. Students define and practice writing in the academic setting and the professional arena. Students practice writing creative briefs, proposals and contracts. They also develop estimates and grant proposals in order to secure funding and determine budgets. At the end of the semester, students practice presenting ideas through writing and oral presentations. Students are encouraged to combine course efforts by writing about a senior capstone project, an individual investigation or another project in an upper-level studio course. Writing about current or recent work helps students apply writing techniques in concrete and tangible scenarios.
