From the Colorful Canvas to the Blank Page: A Writing Workshop for Visual Artists
Visual artists, as conveyors of information, intention and feeling, are moved to communicate their messages by means of two- and three-dimensional objects. They often feel more comfortable explaining themselves through paint or found objects than through written and spoken language. To successfully create opportunities to show their work, and to be better understood by peers, viewers, and journalists, artists will encounter numerous occasions where convincing, grammatically correct language is a must. While you may feel that the blank page is more daunting than the empty canvas, D'lynne Plummer has worked with artists to help them find their narrative voice. This workshop will provide tools to help artists craft statements, biographies, descriptions of their work, and turn their point of view into media-ready pitches. Bring a pen and an open mind.
