THE ART OF WRITING ART - MASTERCLASS
THEODORE ELL
Art makes us think in a language all its own. How do we translate it into words, to share the experience with others? This session explores the devices – description, perspective, imagery – of ekphrasis, writing that arises from art. Participants are invited to wander the collections of the National Gallery and seek inspiration for a short piece of writing in a genre of their choice – poetry, essay, memoir, short fiction – to share in a final workshop with award-winning poet and essayist Theodore Ell.
