Short assignments
Weekly Activities (Weeklies)
Each week, students will be asked to complete an online or non-digital composition (writing, online interaction, discussion, audio or video inside Canvas, etc…) based on the readings and in-class work for the week. Each weekly is to be completed in Canvas (if it is a non-digital composition, please take a photo of your weekly and post it in the proper place in Canvas). Weeklies cannot be “made up” and will not be accepted past the due date and time. Each weekly is due in Canvas by Sunday at 5pm. Weeklies allow a space for short, ungraded assignments (though they count for credit) that riff on our readings and discussions for the week. They are a space for insight related to our research, readings, and discussions.
West End Art Depot Visit and Response
Once during the semester, visit the West End Art Depot during open gallery hours or by attending a show opening, class, or other event. In a written document (minimum 2 pages, double-spaced), discuss your impression of the WeAd physical space, as well as a reflection on the exhibit or event you saw, including specific names, dates, titles and art pieces, etc.. The purpose of this visit is for you to familiarize yourself with the space in which we will be presenting our final interactive writing exhibition.

Our mission is to build an alliance of people with a passion for the arts, and to advocate for and promote the artists of Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico through education, outreach and service. We provide a space for artists of all media to teach, work and show in a communal setting and benefit from shared resources. As a cooperative and arts incubator, we offer the freedom and resources necessary to generate original and relevant art while encouraging the artistic development of our community.
