THE PROGRAM CORE CL ASSES

ELECTIVE

Creative writing students will focus on four writing genres - one per week.

Students in the Creative Writing program will have the opportunity to participate in an elective of their choosing on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with students in the Art, Media + Design program.

CREATIVE NON-FICTION As many acclaimed writers have demonstrated, non-fiction doesn’t have to mean “no frills.”

Learn to apply flourish and expression that add credibility to actual events - starting with the events of your own life, which will morph from mere memories to esteemed pieces when you apply devices acquired in this class.

FICTION Conjuring up a plot is one thing.

Executing it effectively is another. Merge your great ideas with exacting delivery by developing the elements and subtleties that transform a compelling anecdote, thought or observation into enduring prose.

THE UNIVERSIT Y OF THE ARTS

SCREENWRITING Imagine your writing leaping off the page and onto the big screen - or literally into the spotlight. Writing successfully for film, television and stage requires a strong understanding of screenplay and theatrical conventions. This course introduces you to the basic sequences and structures that shape these thriving genres.

Walk away with the tools and knowledge needed to write feature-length stage and screen projects.

POETRY Proven approaches exist for distinguishing good poems from those that are poorly executed or cliched. Examine and dissect contemporary work while developing critical vocabulary for understanding poems better - and expressing yourself in powerful new ways.
