Keith Haring, famous for his simple line drawings combined with bright colours and straightforward language, famously wrote: Your line is your personality. While poets and fiction writers discuss line breaks, stanzas, or the process of finding one’s authorial voice; visual artists such as William Blake, Hannah Hoch, Larry Rivers, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jane Hammond, and Bansky use colour, light, composition, movement—artistic line in relation to, or in combination with, the written word—various painterly and textual elements merging to create a dynamic mixed-media melange.

What’s My Line? Where Canvas and Brush Meet Ink and Paper is a four-day mixed-media workshop that will help you gain insight into your artistic personality while tapping into metaphors and images that can be written into a story, poem, memoir, or painting. In this workshop you will learn about, and be inspired by, accomplished artists and writers, while developing your own art and/or writing in a non-threatening studio environment. Each day participants will be introduced to a writer and artist and provided with a new writing prompt and drawing exercise. These daily exercises will be discussed and will evolve over the week into a folio of poems, stories (or illustrated stories), memoir, drawings, or paintings that will be presented on the final day of the workshop.
