Blog Post 11 of 12

I don't think the four-letter word projects qualify as writing. Writing is basically the act of inscribing letters onto a document. The four-letter word project was a composition, a piece that attempts to mimic writing or evoke the same thoughts that writing does, but this composition cannot be defined as writing. This does not mean the project had no value, but rather that it was a video or a slideshow that was compiled of all pictures and a single word, and this is not writing. I am writing currently, placing sequences of letters to form words, sentences, paragraphs and thoughts. Our projects were made in an attempt to replicate a verbal argument non-verbally, a proposition that had no option but to only partially succeed, and it could only partially succeed because the project was not made from writing.

  1. I agree with a lot of what you said in this post. I think writing is the letters on a document. What Im not sure about is that compositions are trying to mimic writing. I think that compositions are ways to express completely different things. And what about when people write about compositions. Can you compose about another composition?
