SUMMARY:Six Month Screenwriting Intensive
DESCRIPTION:with James Napoli \nThe art and craft of writing for the screen is a skill that all authors would do well to have in their creative arsenals. On one level\, prose fiction\, memoir\, non-fiction\, all these forms have been\, and will continue to be\, sought out by the film industry as foundations for works in the visual storytelling realm. So\, writers who bring with them a full understanding of the techniques—and very specific considerations—that go into bringing screen stories to life are adding a valuable component to their career qualifications. \nPerhaps even more importantly\, being able to offer screenplays among one’s catalogue of written works could add a new and potentially profitable set of skills to an author’s toolkit. Getting a handle on how those in movies and TV tell their stories will enrich and inspire the creative process in unexpected and energizing ways. Putting that knowledge into practice lets a writer generate a tangible art form that augments and amplifies their body of work. \nThis course is designed to guide you through the foundational elements of screenwriting\, including structural\, stylistic\, and formatting archetypes that inform script creation\, as you proceed toward a rough first draft screenplay or television pilot as the culmination of our coursework. \nWe will delve into modern standards of story construction along with the ancient roots of the traditional three-act structure. These theory elements will always be combined with hands-on writing exercises (some assigned as homework\, others taking shape “improv” style within class time)\, reading and analyzing several produced scripts\, and peer critiquing of your fellow authors’ projects as they take shape during our journey. In addition to structure\, we will go deeply into character and dialogue\, the importance of research\, and the distinct demands of forging evocative\, economical descriptive passages in screenplays.

SUMMARY:Experiments in Creativity
DESCRIPTION:with Coleman Stevenson \nIf you allow them to\, ideas for art and writing can come from absolutely anywhere. This creative generation class will put that theory to the test\, through a series of experiments in creative problem-solving\, spontaneous and chance-based play\, and other exploratory prompts that challenge you to work outside your normal modes and investigate how the creative brain works. \nPrior to the start of this series of classes\, each participant will receive a unique packet of random materials in the mail. In-class exercises and weekly assignments will ask you to work with these materials in various ways\, including an opportunity to create collaboratively at a distance. You’ll also keep a weekly journal detailing your personal process and ideas about creativity. \nAs support for this process\, we will read and discuss essays by artists and writers about the creative process. Creators working in any medium are welcome\, though you will be asked at times to cross genres. Also welcome is anyone who feels that they are “not a creative person.” This class will help you find the creative spark within. Materials fee includes all materials for class projects. \nPlease Note: We encourage you to register by January 10\, so that materials can be sent to arrive before the class begins. \nAccess Program\nWe want our writing classes and Delves to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and Delve tuitions at a reduced rate. The access program for writing classes covers 60% of the class tuition. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.

SUMMARY:Writing the Autofiction Novella: 12-week intensive

SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Type Design with Kel Troughton
DESCRIPTION:During this 10-week online workshop\, which meets Tuesday evenings from January 29-April 4\, participants will create their own original typefaces as they gain an understanding of the methodologies and software used to produce high-quality digital type. \nThe primary goal of this workshop is to show participants how to systematically think about type and successfully structure the type design process. We will focus on techniques and best practices for designing and spacing type\, explore the conceptual foundations of type design\, including proofing and testing work\, and learn about the structure of type families. Participants will work in Glyphs App throughout the week and upload homework before each workshop for review. During meeting times\, participants will learn various lessons about type\, practice sketching\, and get feedback on their type projects. \nThis course is suitable for designers just starting to think about type and for designers with some type design experience\, hoping to develop their skills and processes. Some experience with drawing Bézier curves (in Adobe Illustrator\, for instance) and with typography is recommended but not required. This is a great course for anyone interested in applying to the Type West Postgraduate Certificate Program in Type Design. \nA free temporary license for Glyphs App will be made available to all participants. The class is capped at fifteen students to allow for ample one-on-one instruction.
