You will explore the pleasures and challenges of specific forms including reviews (of plays, exhibitions or books), feature essays, blogging, and artist profiles in the context of key issues in arts writing, including the ethics of reviewing, the function of criticism and the ways arts writing continues to be transformed by the Internet and social media.
