| Title: | Picturing Yourself in Books |

| Course Section Number: | ENG-210-01 |
| Department: | English |
| Description: | Who do you see when you snap a selfie and slap it on Insta? What parts of that identity did you shape, select, or perform? In this course you'll investigate the ways in which captured images and written language shape our perception of ourselves and the world. You'll create a physical document (a book, journal, or archive)that asks more questions than it answers. You'll work directly with two artists (one writer & one photographer)to combine the visual & verbal, doing so via an array of techniques both lo-fi and digital. For some of you, this might constitute a tag-team or "two-ness" brought to bear on another "two-ness." That's W.E.B. DuBois's term for the "peculiar sensation [.] of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others" (The Souls of Black Folks). So get ready to look at yourself through your own eyes, while also exploring the methods of skilled creators who've come before: Lorna Simpson, Duane Michals, Langston Hughes, Roy DeCarava, Claudia Rankine, & others. No artistic or writing experience is required; students from all backgrounds & disciplines are encouraged to enroll. ENG-210-01=ART-225-01 |
