ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

In this workshop, participants will consider visual art as a catalyst for the creative writing process. How does one approach the visual in writing, and what do visual artists have to teach us about the practice of writing? How can writing draw on the abstraction and experimentation of visual art? In this class, we’ll approach artistic creation from a variety of angles, from the hybrid work of writer-artists such Leonora Carrington and Alasdair Gray, to traditional forms of narrative painting, to modern artworks engaging techniques of abstraction, collage and found objects. Using example artworks as a jumping-off point, students will play a series of generative games and exercises designed to encourage experimentation with form and language, before selecting a work with which they want to engage more deeply.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
