Corcoran College of Art and Design

AS3205: From Baudelaire to Blog

Much writing about art occurs not in books or long scholarly articles but in short formats such as critical reviews, written introductions to exhibits, statements, interviews, opinion pieces, and more recently, blog entries. This class will both look at examples of such art-writing (from the early modern era to the present), and undertake the practice of writing short descriptive and critical pieces of the types mentioned above in a workshop setting, making use of area exhibits and resources. The goal will be for students to develop skill and enjoyment in the diverse possibilities for writing about visual art (including one's own), leading to potential publication (online or in print).
