“My Life” on the Marquis: Exploring Identity Development through the Creative Arts: We often talk about the transition between adolescence and young adulthood as a period of identity exploration and development. For all of you this time period also includes transitioning to college life. During autumn term we will be exploring emerging-adult identity development and the transition from high school to college through creative arts techniques. We will cover topics that include: adult autonomy and agency, health and wellness, balancing work and play, relationships, learning styles and defining your personal values and goals. We will use the arts not only to explore these topics, but you will also learn how to use these same techniques to cope with and manage the stress of college life. This is an experiential based course and students should be willing to engage in all art forms (art, music, dance, drama, and narrative), although you do not need to be proficient in any specific form.
