Writing with Video
ART 350/550
is an advanced composition course that engages students in a comprehensive exploration of contemporary rhetoric, creative inquiry, design thinking, media authorship, self-reflection, and social engagement.
Directed writings in concert with video production projects allow students to experience an integrated process of thinking, creating, and problem-solving. As students make media, their ability to also analyze and critique media messages undergoes radical transformation. They become more sophisticated authors and consumers.
WwV prepares students for a world in which composition and rhetoric have come off the page, and builds communication skills that extend well beyond the technologies of ink
and paper, while still honoring a writing-intensive learning process.
