The Creative Process In this course, students will have the opportunity to dig deeply into their own creativity and explore the processes by which ideas emerge and are given shape in the arts. The experiential nature of this course integrates cognition and action, mind and body.  Students will engage a range of modes of discovering, knowing, and communicating, which are designed to push them beyond their present state of awareness and level of confidence in their creative power.  Practical work will be closely accompanied by readings and journaling, culminating with the creation and performance of a short project.

If you need an Art credit, this is the course to take. It's super chill/easy, and although strange, it's actually kind of fun. It's just important to know that there are lots of performance components. They aren't difficult, know you'll have to perform in front of the class.
