Take a Creative Writing class this summer

Take advantage of the 25% tuition discount at IUSB, fulfill a General Education requirement, AND get credit toward a Creative Writing Minor with one of the following A190 Art, Aesthetics, and Creativity courses taught by Kelcey Parker in Summer I and Margaret Chapman in Summer II:

After Words: Imitating Poetry, Fiction, and Nonfiction

In this class students will try different approaches to creative writing, using a variety of imitation exercises to create poems, prose poems, flash fiction, essays, and graphic narratives. One of the first practices artists learn is imitation, creating pieces “after” an established artist. Imitations are then labeled according to the work they take after: “After Picasso.” We’ll read work in a variety of forms and styles to guide us in shaping our own content and subject matter. Students will submit a portfolio of writing and keep an ongoing journal of their progress.

Student Readings & Exhibit

The semesterly Student Reading & Exhibit is taking place Thursday 12/8 from 8:30-3:00 p.m. in DW 3001.

(It actually kicked off already with a reading by Alessandra Simmons Rolff’s A190 students, who read from the two literary journals that they created and self-published.)

There will be readings by four classes in a row, and there will be a display of 2-D Self-Portrait Collages (see recent posts for images), Collage Journals, and individual books – written and published by students – from Kelcey Parker’s A399 class, a book published by her W250 class, and a computer projecting an image of online literary journals created by Margaret Chapman’s A190 classes.

Please feel free to drop in during the readings and to have a look around as we celebrate our students’ accomplishments in creative writing, narrative collage, and literary publishing!

All classes contribute to the Creative Writing Minor (click tab above) and are part of the Center for Excellence in Literary Arts & Publishing initiative.
