This four-week virtual writing course will explore ways to look at art as prompts for our writing. Each week we will build on techniques to tell our own stories as inspired by visual artwork, applicable to any writing genre. There will be opportunities to read and share within smaller breakout groups. Over the four classes, each student will have created a sizable amount of written material from these ekphrastic writing exercises.
4 one-hour sessions (Thursdays): February 25, March 4, March 11, March 18.
Course limited to 15 participants (ages 16 and above)
Requires access to Zoom Video and strong internet connection
