The ideas and skills inherent in visual arts and literature are combined toward an integrated expression in this interdisciplinary course. Students confront issues of form, word and image relationships, sequence, storytelling, semiotics, and visual/experimental literature. Skills are developed through a sequence of exercises, including Dada poetry and other writing (continuous, automatic, multiple points of view); titling objects; building a narrative; story development; typographic settings of original text; and writing and designing for the visual book, performance, and other time-based media. Students choose the medium for their final projects; collaborations are encouraged. Offered as SOA 4240 for students in other disciplines.
