55-4335LDM Journal and Sketchbook: Ways of Seeing

Kafka, Goya, Faulkner, and others have been inspired by word and image; their journals and sketchbooks show exploration in text, image, and their intersections. Open to those interested in writing and/or visual art, the course will be team-taught by a writer and a visual artist, using interdisciplinary approaches in order to help students better see their narrative and narrative-informed work. Students will consider their written and visual work fully through personal observation, seeing and responding simultaneously, and seeing-in-the-mind through imagination and memory. This course will draw upon literary, historical, and cultural aspects of Florence and Italy, including visiting major sites and museums in one of the world’s most impressive art cities.
