Staffordshire University
24 May 2012
This is the second
workshop in the Writing in Creative Practice series, which is run in
conjunction with Writing PAD and funded by the Higher Education Academy.
This
workshop looks at how the Writing in the Disciplines model of integrating
writing into subject specialist modules can be applied in the creative,
studio-based disciplines of Art and Design specifically. Issues looked at are a
number of models of teaching academic writing – from stand-alone to fully
integrated. We will also be exploring the idea of genre when introducing
written assignments, and Dr Fiona English, author of Student Writing and Genre,
will share her experiences in this field.
Conceived as a hands-on day with lots of activities and
discussion, this would work best if participants come in with a specific
module/course in mind into which they want to integrate writing further. Sarah
Williamson will introduce us to the making of individual artists’ books in
order to capture the impressions of individual participants in a creative and
visual way, and there will be the opportunity to discuss whether this way of putting
together information could be seen as a genre to be included into the
Studio-Based Curriculum. Pictures of works in progress will be submitted as a
photo essay to the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice.
The attendance of this workshop is free of charge to all
those interested in the workshop topic, with preference being given to staff
working in HE institutions and HE in FE colleges from across the UK. Places
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Lunch and refreshments
will be provided, but travel expenses will not be covered. For more information
or to book a place, please get in touch with Dr Alke Gröppel-Wegener
(a.c.groppel-wegener@staffs.ac.uk).
