Description: The Creative, Literary, and Visual Arts provide a means of communicating soul to soul. They tell a story and can be a source of sweeping good in the world. We need more voices like this. The world needs YOUR voice. Storytellers are impactful and create change because they speak to the soul. Christ was a storyteller. Popular culture is dominated by storytellers. What stories do you have to tell? How can you change the world for the better with your stories?
In this class you will meet face to face with great storytellers throughout history as you study inspiring literature, poetry, photography, and art. You will learn practical skills to give voice to your message and breath life into your stories through several creative mediums. The first semester will focus on the mediums of fictional literature (short story and novel), poetry, photography, and creating your own literary arts blog. The second semester will focus on personal narrative, the visual arts (drawing and painting), and magazine design, culminating with students creating, and publishing their own literary arts magazine.
