What does it mean to be a working artist? This seminar will take up this question by exploring the ways different kinds of artists (writers, visual artists, musicians, film-makers) work. We will examine the various creative processes artists use to create, explore the impulses and reasons behind artistic choices, attempt to determine where "inspiration'' comes from, and discuss the ethical questions artists can face. We will begin the seminar with background readings to give us a theoretical grounding in creativity.

Purpose: An opportunity to discuss current state, national, and global issues and events with talented faculty, distinguished community members, politicians, and influential alums. Class time will be devoted to vibrant and challenging discussions based on critical reading and analysis of newspaper articles on current issues Requirements: Reading the front page stories from the New York Times and the Boston Globe daily.
