Painting has been called silent poetry, and poetry painting that speaks. In this course, students will study both image and text, the sister arts, as they discuss the creative texts of such artists as Vincent Van Gogh, William Blake, Georgia O'Keefe and Jean Michael Basquet, alongside creative art films such as The Red Balloon and Sunday in the Park with George. Students may create their own image as text journals. Weekly assigned readings will be considered both as texts in their own right and as models for writing.
