Writing 2 continues the work begun in Writing 1 on strengthening students' ability to write, read and discuss at the college level, with emphasis on literary and visual analysis, and research and argumentation skills. The course will revolve around a specific theme selected by the instructor.COURSE DESCRIPTIONNow, more than ever before, our POV has become one of the most powerful tools for interpretation and transformation of the world. In a world divided by politics, distrust, and misinformation what we read, write and create is permeated by the many ways in which our consciousness filters our relationship with the world. How do we write about ourselves? How do we project our thoughts to the world through photography, painting, film, and writing? This class will examine how writers and artists imagine and represent their own persona as they use themselves as models for a creative project. Since this is a writing class, we will place an emphasis in autobiographical and personal essays but will create meaningful connections with other forms of self-representation from the visual arts. Students are encouraged to work with the instructor to create personal projects as long as these projects include a writing component that fulfills the learning outcomes included in our syllabus.
