Module ICourse Description
Effective academic writing helps us understand and propose new ways of seeing ourselves and our world. In this writing intensive course, we'll learn to use rhetorical arguments and the revision process to explore how identity is made and sustained in art and in society. Writing about art can revise, expand on, and answer what identity can be. Together, we are going to explore, through readings and museum field trips and critical essays, how people talk about art and personal identity. We will uncover some of the important ways that artists, museums, schools, and, even, politicians use art to unmask, create, and interrogate identity.
