Creative Writing Studio: Image + Text

This studio course will focus on literary texts, visual art, and time-based works that revel in the intersection of image + text. Students will explore a range of examples with the aim of discussing the historical context of the intersection of image and text, considering the works of contemporary practitioners, and creating several creative works that students will discuss in workshop. Some questions: What is the difference between conceptual text-informed visual art and, say, poetry, if any? How do we think of protest via the intersection of text + image? How do cartoons and graphic novels enter the discussion? Think of this course as a recent history of your current visual culture.
