The first assignment entails writing, designing and executing Moveable Books. Skills such as Origami or Textile techniques such as Applique will be useful. Books are generally 8 pages in length. The books are intended to be playful, often satrical, as befits the Pop Up spirit. Art supplies necessary.
Most writing involves collaboration of some kind.
This project will involve class members in organizing themselves into one big collaborative or a few small teams. This is well suited to radio plays, puppet plays or performance pieces or scripts. Time management, distribution of tasks and ability to meet deadlines usually play a significant role in the success of this project. After the Spring Break, students will work on their own creative writing projects. Some may chose to extend narratives begun in Fall semester, others may decide to work in experimental media.
