Advanced Writing for Visual and Performing Arts
Section 65000
- Note: Given the nature of the writing curriculum and the workshop format of the class, joining a Writing 340 section after the second week of the semester places a student at a severe disadvantage in terms of the goals and requirements of the course. For this reason, requests to add 340 during the third week are usually denied. On the basis of extraordinary circumstances, a student may initiate an exception request in the relevant administrative office (at the Dornsife College Writing Program, the Marshall Center for Management Communication, or the Viterbi Engineering Writing Program); such requests require both administrative and instructor approval.
Students of the fine arts can study advanced writing through models of the written work of artists who have theorized their own aesthetics, in order to develop analogies between artistic practice and the writing process. Course debates on these creative practices will, via the acquisition of theoretical vocabularies and analytical tools, be placed solidly within a written context. - Session Dates (session code 001)
