This research course focuses on the interrelationships between literacy and creativity.  Students will participate in research projects which explore the interface between functional texts and aesthetic scripts, illustration as visual story, photography as visual poetry, writing as an art form, lettering as design, the physicality of print, how tools and materials influence composition, and the production of texts as mindful social practice.  Students will participate in: [1] studio activities which focus on the construction of a variety of functional and aesthetic texts; [2] research seminars which focus on the implications for pedagogy of the physical, technological and social practices associated with multi-media text construction; and [3] ethnographic field work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  A ten-hour field experience is required.
