COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This rhetoric and composition course will use audience interaction (a live interactive writing exhibit at West End Art Depot) as a final project to open up the innovative and critical discussion space that might occur between and beyond institutional and social boundaries. We will learn the image-editing programs Photoshop and Pixlr (or you will build and practice from your existing skill set) in conjunction with aspects of planning, writing, composing, revising, and problem-solving that are necessary not only in our class, but in all other professional and academic settings. Students will work to situate themselves along a broad spectrum of the concepts “problem-solver/composer/writer/designer/artist.” Students do not have to identify as, or consider her/himself “creative” in order to succeed in this course.
