ARTS 141 - Imaginative Writing

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Arts

Description:

This introductory course explores the way writers invent original pieces of creative writing, focusing specifically on the act of invention. Students will be asked to observe the world around them and make writing a daily habit. Students will also engage in idea generating activities and learn how to discover meaning in raw prose. The act of observing and recording will lead the student to not only write more polished pieces of fiction, poetry, drama, and creative nonfiction, but it will also lead the student to become a better observer and thinker, important goals of a liberal arts education. Reading assignments will encourage students to read outside of their favorite genres and styles and to respond to that reading in meaningful ways.
