H79.2526 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Frank
From brainstorming to comp generation, the creative process is enshrouded in the language of mythology. As we collectively enter an "authorship society" it is crucial that we develop a language to apply to ourselves as creative beings. This course will have two goals, the first: to study both past and present perspectives on creativity and its role in society, and the second: to deconstruct and personalize the creative act. We will be reading Foucoult, Marx, Twyla Tharpe, Buddhist theology, and cheap airport books by motivational speakers. Students will be expected to create many short and medium length projects, to study and practice real-time brainstorming techniques, methods in group process, and performance skills in an attempt to become creatively self aware.
