Perceptions Through Art

6-7 PM

$15-$20

• Online via Zoom

Ekphrastic writing is the art of translating visual experiences into words. Rooted in Greek rhetorical tradition, it brings paintings, sculptures, architecture, and scenes to life through vivid, imaginative description. More than simple observation, it invites you to interpret, question, and expand the meaning of what you see, creating a bridge between visual and literary expression.

In this hour-long Zoom workshop, you’ll explore that connection firsthand. Bring an image that inspires you—whether it’s a piece of fine art, a photograph, a natural landscape, or your own creative work—or choose from a curated selection provided on-site. Using your chosen image as a prompt, you’ll craft your own ekphrastic piece in either poetry or prose.

Bring your own favorite image, loaded on computer to share. Visit https://rightwrightwrite.blogspot.com/ or email J4Austin@yahoo.com for more information.

Perceptions Through Art

6-7 PM

$15-$20

• Online via Zoom

Ekphrastic writing is the art of translating visual experiences into words. Rooted in Greek rhetorical tradition, it brings paintings, sculptures, architecture, and scenes to life through vivid, imaginative description. More than simple observation, it invites you to interpret, question, and expand the meaning of what you see, creating a bridge between visual and literary expression.

In this hour-long Zoom workshop, you’ll explore that connection firsthand. Bring an image that inspires you—whether it’s a piece of fine art, a photograph, a natural landscape, or your own creative work—or choose from a curated selection provided on-site. Using your chosen image as a prompt, you’ll craft your own ekphrastic piece in either poetry or prose.

Bring your own favorite image, loaded on computer to share. Visit https://rightwrightwrite.blogspot.com/ or email J4Austin@yahoo.com for more information.
