Sunday, December 27, 2020 Color and Light: Making Pictures Speak (Youth) Timelines: 3b: Past Workshops (Unseen Archive)
Drawing on inspiration from modern and classic works of art, this workshop will explore the linked activities of seeing and saying, from the ancient times to the present moment. What strategies have poets and writers employed when creating literary works inspired by the visual arts? Paintings, sculptures, photographs, and even conceptual art pieces: we will spend time looking at art, talking about art, and generating our own original pieces that make silent works of art speak out loud and bold.
