This course is a special opportunity to explore connections among the visual arts, writing, and literature. This challenging, thought-provoking experience for reflective practitioners is intended to expand definitions of literacy. Participants will discover the powerful synergy between word and image; use the visual arts to respond to reading of all kinds; experience art workshops in drawing, pastels, print making, and sculpture using found objects; and find inspiration for writing in these art forms. No previous experience or talent required, only a willingness to delve into new modes of written and artistic expression. "I have never taken a graduate course where I have felt so intellectually stimulated by talented and kind people.  This is one of the most enjoyable classes I have taken!  It opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about education." - course participant
