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 DescriptionIn the era of social media, our personal perspective 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 make is permeated by the unpredictable ways in which our consciousness filters our relationship with the world. How do we write about ourselves in this world? How do we project our thoughts to the outside through photography, painting, film, or writing? This class will examine how writers and artists represent themselves and their views in their work. Since this is a writing class, we will place an emphasis on 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 they include a writing component that fulfills the learning outcomes included in our syllabus.
