Event details
The Eye of the Beholder: On Writers Courting Visual Art as Muse at Gemini Ink
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.
Dates: Saturday, Dec. 5, 11am – 4pm (break included);
Sunday, Dec. 6, 11am – 2pm (break included)
Limit: 12 Participants
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, Dec. 2
Required Materials: Please bring a fine art photograph on Saturday and a reproduction of another work of art that inspires, perplexes, or intrigues you enough to want to write about it on Sunday. Also, please perform a little preliminary research on the artist / photographer as this information
may play a role in your writing.
CPE Credits: 7 Language Arts
