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.

Each day, participants will be introduced to a writer and artist and be 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.

This five-day mixed-media workshop 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.
