Writing from Art (Poetry): Youth PBF Workshop
Sat, Nov 2, 2024 from 10:00 am - 11:15 am PDT
1237 SW 10th Ave Portland, OR 97205
Instructor: Amy Minato
Grades 9-12
In this workshop, we’ll discover parallels between visual and written art drawing inspiration from pieces in the museum collection. We’ll practice imagery, form, metaphor, and perspective to engage in conversation with actual paintings in a supportive writing community. No previous writing experience necessary! Just bring your imagination and good vibes.
