WIN 187 - Creativity

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

Which aspects of the mind can be considered "creative"? How can we better understand persons with new ideas and fresh approaches to art, design, modes of thought, and other formal structures? How can we encourage our own under-utilized or untapped sources of creative thinking? This activity course includes in-depth readings about theories of creativity and studies of several important figures whose creative thinking changed their worlds. More importantly, the course allows students to experiment with some basic arts and craft forms, such as fabric dyeing, wire and bead jewelry making, pen and ink sketching, linoleum block printing, collage, poetry and "flash fiction" writing, digital movie making, photography, and hypertexts. Students with background in other arts are welcome, as assignments will allow students to choose which art forms to use for their major projects. Fees: There will be a materials fee of $110 for basic supplies and to cover expenses for the field trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Students may also choose to buy additional supplies for their individual projects
