LITPA 200 courses introduce students to the study of literature or the performing arts, emphasizing analysis of both particular works and of the range of genres, periods and traditions. Frequent reading and writing assignments will be made.Explore the dynamic relationship between literature and visual images to develop more lively stand-alone or sequential scenes in your written stories and 2D, 3D, or 4D art. How do artists and writers represent setting, characters, plot, backstory, and subtext in scenes to deliver the story? What are the organizing principles that produce a cohesive composition? Study how scenes found in poems, short stories, and memoirs can inspire visual work by painters, photographers, illustrators, filmmakers, animators, and vice versa. Whether you are making a scene to represent the state of the world, bear witness to injustice, express personal trauma, or reflect the beauty that nevertheless exists, close study of the component parts of compelling scenes will enhance the impact of your work.
