Creative Writing/ Languages Department: Academy of Performing & Creative Arts: Clinton, New York

COMING THIS JANUARY!

Creative Writing/ Languages: Another program newly available to our students is our Creative Writing and Language department. This program offers students of all ages an opportunity to discover the art of the written word in both classical and contemporary writing styles. Working with many techniques of writing, spanning styles such as poetry, short stories, and composition, our highly trained instructors will teach our students how to write so as to be understood and how to use word to express and understand. Other aspects of instruction include technical aspect of writing, such as grammar, syntax, and punctuation. Furthermore, for more experienced writer we provide a practical approach to getting writings published. We feel that this genre of art is extremely important and yet sometimes neglected as a true art. We hope to bring new interest in this form of creative expression and teach our students the value and beauty of the English language.

Also new to our facility is our language department. We have structured a learning group approach in an effort to teach children new languages in a comfortable setting surrounded by peers. We focus this class on all ages, but understand and recommend the importance of early introduction to new languages. Highly trained instructors will offer fun and educational lessons using vocabulary-building songs, visual aids and language immersion games. We truly believe that children learn as they play and sing, and use this style to perfect our technique.
