Ekphrastic Workshop: ART and Writing with Author Janee Baugher

Love the visual arts? Love creative writing? This generative ekphrastic writing class will delight anyone who’s interested in discovering how engaging with the visual arts can ignite their stories, essays, and poems. The mode of “ekphrastic writing” is defined as descriptive writing influenced by the visual arts. We’ll learn methods of art-engagement and conventions of responding to art and we’ll pen our own ekphrastic work. Artwork will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own. Come see how your sight can lead to insight! Instructor: Janée J. Baugher, MFA
