The Art of Wrtiting is a writing and artistic expression workshop that will offer participants an opportunity to examine creative writers’ and artists’ works while tapping into different forms of art expression based on cutting-edge techniques shared by creative practitioners in the field of writing and art, from all over the world. As workshop participants practice in different artistic mediums, they will be given a platform to examine their discoveries and fashion the art they create into words to match the art, to tell the story, and to convey their purposes as individuals, students, and scholars in the world.
Each participant will be asked to answer the question: What will your contribution to the world of art and writing consist of, and how will you revolutionize both worlds one stroke, design and/or line at a time. |
