We will examine the critical and professional literature relevant to working fine artists and familiarize ourselves with the vocabularies of the disciplines, trying our hands at various modes of creative and professional writing. We will explore select readings as models for practicing traditional forms or writing in the field, while developing our own voices, style, and stance.
