Have you ever been moved by a painting or photograph? Maybe you have a favorite artist that you stand for hours in the museum or gallery and just stare at their work. Do you know that you can create a poem or flash piece by using vivid verbal images, rich details/descriptions and metaphors from that artwork? This is your chance to learn about Ekphrastic writing from an award-winning poet and visual artist who employs ekphrasis in her works. This class is for beginning and advanced writers – whether you’ve heard the term ekphrasis before or not. We will use images, prompts, and examples to get you writing and ideally walking away with an ekphrastic piece or two. Come join in the experience of “painting” with words!
