Interdisciplinary Arts 0264 - Writing In/Out of the Frame

Paul Valery described seeing as "forgetting the name of the thing one sees." We see before we have the words to say what we see. But what is it that we see when we look? And how does it seem to come closer or disappear when we move to speak? In this workshop we will focus on the interplay between seeing and naming, focusing on works of poetry created in conversation with or in response to images, whether still or moving. Ideal for students who want to incorporate text into their visual practice, or those who want to explore taking their words off the page.

In this course, students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time.
