Write Loud 

The minor creative writing Write LOUD of St.Joost School of Art & Design is created for students looking to establish solid storytelling skills in written form. To help students further define, articulate, and expand their practice through creative writing. In this course we let you see what a writing discipline can offer a developing visual/media practice. This creative writing practice will be in the form, genre and manner that suits you as a creator with an emphasis on our program’s unique perspectives from the intersection between the literary field and Photography, Film and the Digital, in an interdisplinary approach with Watershed Production House. This minor is acutely geared towards students who have a solid background in the use of image to convey meaning. This minor is really well suited to students with a background in or affinity for: Visual Arts, Media Production, Design, Illustration, etc. However, we are very open to applications from students in all study areas. We encourage students to write in hybrid forms, across genres and within multiple art forms. This course understands that it is essential for today’s creators to have a strong capacity for TELLING in order to SHOW. This program opens with Watershed in the form of a “Camp”, guest lecturers and workshops, to get you out of your head and into the writing. Throughout the course you will meet for guest speakers, workshops and inspiration days developed together with Watershed. These will be both onsite, online and/or off-site. There is a solid focus on what the GROUP dynamic can bring to your individual work so be prepared to get close. This is a practice that builds on the understanding that media creation is a collective experience. During the minor you will develop a media (mixed or hybrid) project with writing as the foundation. Under guidance you will select the form that works best for your theme, material, goals. The forms are open, and you will learn which form best supports your story (think of podcasts, chapbooks, graphic novels, short stories in video and more.
