Note: Starting this week, students from NOCCA are graciously posting their essays responding to Prospect.1 artworks. A student essay will be posted once a week for the next 5 weeks. Comments are welcome and the students may respond. An introduction from their teacher, Anne Gisleson, follows:
In December 2008 and January 2009, creative writing students from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, Lousiana's arts conservatory for high school students, visited many of the Prospect.1 sites around the city. As part of their non-fiction writing curriclum this past quarter, they read essays by such writers as Umberto Eco, Rebecca Solnit and Arthur C. Danto, sat in on art critiques and began collaborations visual arts students. Prospect.1 brought another opportunity to deepen their relationship with visual art, the city and with their own writing.
