- Artists and writers have always used their work to document experiences. Writers document with stories, letters, poetry, travelogues, ‘zines, and journals. A visual artist may document with drawings, scrapbooks, etc. In this course we will explore memory. We will look at the works of visual artists, talk about book making, read fiction and memoir. Students will be immersed in daily writing exercises. We will visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the ‘zine archive at Barnard. Students will make a book for their final project. 15 students
