Creative Writing
Course Number:
ENG260
Course Description:
This course in creative writing is a place to rediscover and explore the playful heart of language, to provide rich opportunities for experimenting with new forms of expression in a collaborative and supportive environment.
While courses in academic composition allow students to develop and structure larger ideas and arguments, creative writing offers students a laboratory to focus on the smallest parts of expression: how to craft a unique image that captures one moment of experience, how to describe the look in a character’s eyes to convey a singular emotion, how to choose “the best words in the best order” (Samuel Taylor Coleridge).
While exploring the art form of creative expression through different genres such as poetry and fiction, students will learn new writing techniques and processes resulting in a more unique personal writing style and more fluid imaginative thinking skills.
