CREATIVE CAPSTONE SEMINAR

This capstone seminar supports M.S. students as they develop and complete a substantial creative project in their chosen form (e.g., memoir, fiction, poetry, playwriting, dance, visual, graphic narrative, video, multimedia, hybrid work). Through workshops emphasizing both individual process and community exchange, students will receive peer support and critique. Readings will include essays on creative process and theory and will be assigned as relevant to the individual projects within the group.  Students consider matters of process, form, audience, embodiment, and artistic responsibility.  In addition to the final project, students will be asked to keep a process journal, occasionally to post to prompts on Courseworks, and to provide a short artist’s statement that situates your work within personal, disciplinary, and social frameworks.
