We all know that fiction relies on creating a space that evokes the five senses, but primary among these seems to be sight. Why is this true? A look at the history of vision theory and how this informs how we process our world is an interesting way of looking at how to put words together–the stuff of writing–in way that evokes a full and experiential world. This seminar will consist of a presentation followed by exercises to make the unconscious process of seeing an active, dynamic tool for creating truly vivid fiction.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
