Write Like a Philosopher Is this a writing class or a philosophy class? Yes, to both. Good writing isn’t all plot and character—much of it is arguing a point of view, and that means being clear, precise and in the end, persuasive. Philosophers ask weird questions like, “Should we edit human DNA?” “What is knowledge?” and “Can machines think?” From these questions we will form and hone our arguments. We’ll be doing philosophy in this class and reading some short pieces by contemporary philosophers, all with an eye to sharpening your writing skills.

This medium was completely new for me. The instructor did a great job distilling a ton of information to make it accessible. It felt like I was just playing and ended up making some very cool art without fretting too much. I think because the class was small our instructor stayed more focused. We were able to work at our own pace, without a lot of talking. But the atmosphere was nice and friendly.

I liked the instructor. Susan knows her stuff, she was encouraging and inspiring. As a person with ZERO watercolor experience, I found myself at ease, not discouraged, and I learned a lot.
