| Certificates: Writing |
This class will take as its focus both creatively and critically the daily and episodic tracking of our own and others' insights, observations, inspirations, motivations; incidents and encounters that seem worthy of (personal) note, whether this be for instant gratification, imprint, or later expansion; simple records as well as flights of writing. We will read and keep journals of various kinds. Very little will be out of bounds. |
