Creative Writing Program. Defining Features 1. A liberated, non-tracking curriculum A defining feature of CalArts’ two-year creative writing program is that students are free to take courses in, and to write in, any genre they wish. Poets may take prose workshops to learn narrative conventions and how to deploy or challenge them; fiction and nonfiction writers may benefit from poetry workshops that hone their use of and engagement with language; and still other students may develop multidimensional writing practices.

All students graduate with the ability to comprehend and critique work across genre, and an expanded sense of possibilities for their own work. CalArts is also one of the few creative writing programs to continually offer workshops in hybrid forms of writing, such as the prose poem, the hybrid essay and ekphrastic writing (writing inspired by other art forms). 2. 3. 4.

For any of you who wondered at the strangeness of a dramatic, one-day exhibit of a life-sized whale made from plastic at the University of Montana last October, here’s the rest of the story. The “Plastic Whale Project” came to Missoula courtesy of the cable television show “Shipping Wars.” There was just one unusual caveat. The free exhibit was made possible because of the show, but the reason for and peculiar nature of the shortened display time had to be kept secret, said Barbara Koostra, director of the Montana Museum of Art & Culture at UM. Until now. This Saturday, A&E Television Network will air an episode that shows the challenges of shipping the 32-foot-long gray whale from Thurston, County, Wash., to Missoula – where it made a huge splash on the Dennison Theatre stage.

The television program paid for all expenses related to the exhibit, so no one would fully understand why camera crews were hovering nearby. “The whale was a great fit for our museum,” Koostra said. Carroll College Home Page. The location of the campus. College English. Our English program has a simple goal: to help you engage in the never-ending work of reading more insightfully, thinking more clearly, and writing more beautifully. We know that you’ll be long gone from us when you’re at your best, but we know our programs in literature, education, and creative writing will help you get there. We believe that literature is one of the most powerful ways that humans express what it means to be human, and that a steady, disciplined reading of classic and modern literature gives you insight and inspiration as you create your own texts.

Our writing courses help you pursue your own creative vision and build toward careers in editing, publishing, journalism, or technical writing. Lastly, our courses in literary theory, rhetoric, and linguistics help you explore the powers and limitations of language and thought.
