Write LOUD is where your guts use their voice and your ideas grow legs—because the stories inside you didn’t come here to stay quiet. This isn’t just a minor; it’s a permission slip to create, fail, run, fall, jump and learn to trust your voice enough to use it.
Find your voice
By choosing Write LOUD you want to stretch yourself and make work that resonates and kicks. This is a minor for building tools, to experiment and grow with writing, and push your ideas further. It’s where you’ll find your voice in/on and around words, using creative writing tools to challenge yourself and your visual practice. Expect to build your craft through trial, feedback, and reflection, and putting yourself out there, all with the result of having written work with a beating heart.
In Write LOUD we focus on building your toolkit. Skills such as editing, maintaining flow, feedback loops, role of research, idea shaping and the very act of showing up and writing consistently. In this course you will discover how to create a practice of writing that meets your needs as an artist, designer, maker in whatever form you chose.
We encourage students to find their form across genres and mediums. We share the many ways of how story building can work and offer you the tools to create your own approach. We solidly believe that by creating work (making meters) you can help strengthen your capacity to elicit nuance, to develop suspense, to reach audiences, and to make work of meaning. For you, for your audience.
