This introductory course in creative writing will explore the various genre: we will play with poetry, fiddle with fiction and nonfiction, as well as grace our souls with other genre. The class will read and discuss literature in various delightful forms to help us understand technique and voice, and practice writing and critiquing our own writing. We will often work in small groups (depending on the number enrolled) as a workshopping method for finding our voices as writers, and for helping our classmates find theirs. By the semester’s end, we will have a mini portfolio of writing. This course fulfills the UK Core requirement for Intellectual Inquiry in Arts & Creativity. |

Why are school districts and some parents afraid of Harry Potter, Huckleberry Finn or others? Why are certain works and their characters’ words either avoided or expurgated to gain admittance into the corridors of high schools and libraries? This course will read these works and examine the historical and cultural reasons for the books’ being challenged in the past or today. Poems such as Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” and Ginsberg’s “Howl” have rallied opponents to suppress their inclusion in anthologies. We’ll try to redeem or reject these texts through close readings and research into the complaints about the books and into the themes of the texts. Coursework will include readings and two 5-7 creative fiction pieces, one collaborative project, as well as shorter writing assignments. This course fulfills the UK Core requirement for Intellectual Inquiry in Arts & Creativity. |
![](/system/files/inline-images/Bloody%20Heart.png) ENG 130 004 LITERARY ENCOUNTS: Love and Money TR 9:30 Joyce MacDonald |
Everybody loves a wedding, but after we brush away the rose petals and empty the rice out of our shoes, we’ve still got to figure out how we’re going to manage our lives together. This section of ENG 130 will look at some plays, movies, and novels that explore the ways in which our practical need for money and the independence and safety it can bring can complicate or even deny our desire to let go and let ourselves fall in love. We’ll read two novels—Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility and the anonymous The Woman of Colour—along with two plays, Aphra Behn’s The Rover and Thomas Middleton’s Chaste Maid in Cheapside, and two films, The Heiress and Baby Face. Is there any way to have both our heart’s desire and a roof over our heads? |

In this Arts and Creativity class, students will make their own individual and group films and will learn to critique each others' work and use peer criticism to improve their work. For inspiration, we will turn to films that emerge from or portray innovative moments in film history, when filmmakers have exploited old technologies in new ways or adapted brand new technologies in cinematic art. We will learn about and how to use various formal cinematic elements (cinematography, sound, mise-en-scène, CGI, editing) to tell stories. We will consider several examples that make interesting use of sound (Singin’ in the Rain, The Artist), different film stock (Wizard of Oz and others), the use of mobile cameras (early examples plus The Gleaners and I, The Blair Witch Project), and editing (Psycho, Jurassic Punk) as we learn to use such techniques in our own work.
