This course explores the interconnectedness of perception and language. We hear it said that visual artists just “see” the world “differently” than the rest of us regular folks. It’s true. We’ll see how they do it, and how easy it is to learn to do. In the process, we will make some intriguing discoveries about language–how it works, how it does (and does not) “represent” our perceptions of the world–discoveries we can put to work to make our writing richer, more effective and affecting. We will, in short, learn how better to “look” like writers–berets optional. Writers of any and all levels of experience or inexperience are warmly invited.
This class is suitable for all levels.
