Level: Intermediate Instructor: Jacqueline Kolosov This two-day workshop will focus on art as subject and inspiration, discovering how the visual artist’s aesthetic can fuel the writer’s own way of seeing. During the first part of Day 1, we will explore examples of ekphrastic writing by Allison Funk, Susan Vreeland, Brenda Miller, and the instructor in order to learn from their strategies. We will then turn to generative exercises. On Day 2, we will workshop each participant’s work-in-progress.
