    Writing 101: Visual or Verbal? by Ellen Lupton On AIGA’s site Ellen Lupton raises some interesting questions: “…How are graphic designers learning to write? Since the late 1970s, a movement known as Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) has argued that writing should be taught in every course on campus, not just in specialized composition courses. Because each discipline—from art to engineering—has its own standards and conventions, faculty in each field should be teaching its own practitioners how to write. Yet few design educators have the time or confidence to load this duty on to their studio courses…” Ellen Lupton will be teaching a Writing Course in the Spring 2009 semester for Graphic Design MFA students at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). For most of us not able to take her course, the online syllabus provides a great reading list. (painting above by Ellen Lupton)
