The Beekman School Offers Creative Writing Classes
This course focuses on the short story format to help students develop their creative skills and inspiration. The foundational approach builds on the cliche "practice makes perfect." Many new writers have the illusion that creative writing happens by magic; however, we don't expect a pianist to play a sonata the first time they sit at a piano; we don't expect the everyday man to don tights and prance onto the stage of the Kirov Ballet; we don't believe Caravaggio rendered his Medusa in kindergarten. So, why do we think creative writing is something we have...or we have not? This course helps students learn to practice writing.
