Advanced Creative Writing

In this course we will use creative writing to develop a deeper understanding of the Spanish language. The objective is to use the Spanish language and Spanish literature as vehicles of artistic expression. Students will turn their writing into art, giving meaning to what might otherwise appear incomprehensible. They will base their writing practice on beauty, truth, and universality, the three wishes of creative work. In this writing lab, we will read theory about the creative writing process and literary works of Hispanic authors, but the main focus will be on the production of an intense body of creative writing. (Two Spanish courses at the 300-level or above, or waiver) 3 hrs. lect./disc.ART LNG
