The first article on Community Arts caught my eye. Jean had told us recently about her work with prisoners, so I was drawn to the book "By Heart". When I read the excerpt, I was first floored by the vivid language and wanted my lit review to sound like that. Thinking about my lit review, I began to wonder why the use of words makes me so nervous. Sometimes writing almost seems like a punishment, but really, words are a kind of power. They let us better recognize nuances in how we see the world and communicate those to other people. Maybe I should resent writing assignments a little less. I hope I can acquire a love for writing and words like this. I mean sometimes when I write it works out, but it's usually a happy accident that I'm not sure how to replicate.
How is SAIC affiliated with CAPE? it sounds like we totally stole their philosophy on teaching...
