WRC 7086 - The Creative Process and the Creative Work

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

Artists/writers need to both develop their individual processes and creative habits and find their deepest, most urgent subject matters and artistic practices. This class will help participants develop an understanding of creativity theory and practice as they create a substantial artistic project: a collection of poetry or stories, a novel, a series of paintings, a dance or theater piece, a memoir, or a mixed-genre work. Artists and writers in different genres will have a chance to expand each other's ideas of the possible as they share work in progress and ideas about process. Course topics include beginnings/openings, endings/closings, finding the strongest possible shape for the work, how the artistic process intersects with the artistic product, the relationship of artist and audience, time management for the artist, ways to generate new work, and methods for re-entering work to revise, deepen, expand, and bring to fruition a major artistic project.
