Online Writing and Creative Expression

9/27/2021

After reading "Online Writing" by Molly Snyder, I read "When Creative Expression Causes Controversy" by Brooke Steiner from the OnMilwaukee MIAD series. For reference, Steiner's piece talked about the controversial reactions that Von Chrzanowski, AKA Case Maclaim's "The Unsung Hero" on the Dye House building received. While meant to be a beautiful statement about giving more recognition to the female working class, many people were upset that the figure did not have a head, seemingly continuing the tradition of ignoring female power.

In this article, I could identify many of the points that Snyder wrote about in her article "online Writing" used. I think the most useful and obviously used tip that Snyder gave was to put the most important information in the beginning of the article and leave the less important things for the second half. Steiner did this well, giving all the information about the mural in the beginning as well as the comments made about it, leaving other examples of this same thing happening with other artists for the middle and following up with a few more statements about the mural for last, tying the article back to the main point very nicely.  Steiner uses the active voice, rather than passive, making the reading much more engaging and impactful on the reader. She also makes use of hyperlinks as well lots of imagery to support her story.

Overall, Steiner makes use of most, if not all, of Snyders tips, writing an engaging, to-the-point story that draws from other artists to support the overall article.
