This writing intensive course focuses on the genres of writing associated with arts, technology, and emerging communication. ATCM 3301 trains students in the process of writing about media (animation, design, games, and so forth) for a variety of audiences.

Assignments include formal analysis, interpretation, the personal or artist’s statement, and project proposals.

Expect to work closely with your classmates to refine and rethink your work.
