ENG 216 - Word-Art: Seeing beyond Black & White

We live in an age of visual culture. To be literate, we need to read and interpret words and images, as well as the interactions between them. Word-Art examines texts that combine words and images, such as graphic novels, illuminated books, and graphic poetry. Read and analyze word-art, and then create your own. The course is a double hybrid: word/image texts and critical/creative writing-designed to stimulate your critical and creative faculties. Take a creative approach to critical writing and apply critical thinking to your creative expression.

Satisfies the Literary Studies, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric requirement.
Satisfies the Cultural Diversity requirement.
