LALW215 Memoir & the Artist 3cr

Re-create your life in art and words. Students will produce their own memoirs using images and
written language. We will also discuss recent graphic memoirs. For inspiration, you’ll read
memoirs by artists, writers, and musicians, including “Just Kids,” by Patti Smith. Then you
write – on such topics as Childhood Memories, How You Began, Who Influences Your Art, Your
Creative Process, Your Successes and Failures - and What They Taught You.[Formerly
Titled: Memoir Writing]
