Core Courses Offered by English PCA230-EN, Writing the Imagination: When you look out the window do you see a tree or the rhythmic sway of dark line and bright color? Do you see a field of grass or waves of innumerable greens? This course, which satisfies the perspectives in the creative arts requirement of the core curriculum, will encourage you to see the world through the eyes of an artist by focusing on the natural world. To achieve this we will examine a variety of formats including poetry, the personal essay, painting and photography in relation to key aesthetic concepts such as the sublime, the beautiful and the picturesque. Although we begin with the Romantic turn to nature of the early nineteenth century, we will juxtapose contemporary writers and artists with those from earlier periods to demonstrate how the way we see the world is culturally determined. We will try to complement our readings with trips to nearby museums (IMA), galleries, and the studios of local artists. In addition, we will take advantage of such local natural resources as the grounds of the IMA, the canal walk and Holcomb Gardens, where you will find the raw material for your own reflection and creative expression. (U)(3). Fall and spring. PCA231-EN, Writing the Self: Over the past two decades, critics, publishers and readers have celebrated the growth of a field of writing known as “creative non-fiction.” Among the forms of creative non-fiction, none are more popular than those that allow the writer to tell the story of his or her own experience. Students will read memoirs, personal essays, autobiographies and travel writing. We will experiment writing in and about each of these forms. (U) (3). Occasionally.
