SUMMARY:Ekphrasis for the Masses - Quinlan Visual Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Writing POETRY in Response to Art at the Q \nSecond Tuesday of each month at the Quinlan\n12:00 pm- 1:00 pm I Open to the Public \nWhat is Ekphrasis?\nThe word ekphrasis comes from the Greek language and is used for a vivid\, often dramatic\, verbal description of a visual work of art. \nEkphrastic poetry may include literal descriptions of a work of art\, the poet’s mood in response to a work of art\, metaphorical associations inspired by a work of art\, or personal memories about a work of art. \nFive ways to write an Ekphrastic poem or story.\n– Describe what you see\n-Describe what’s happening beyond the frame\n– Write from the perspective of the artist\n-Give voice to a major or minor character in the image\n-Explain your response to the art \nThe “Q” continues to be a fountain of inspiration for artists\, writers\, readers and poets! Their walks through each gallery inspired by the art we see there have been rich in so many ways. It is a joy to have patrons of Ekphrasis return\, eager to discover nuances. Please join QVAC for this welcoming and fun poetry session to learn more about ekphrastic poetry and to write poems of your own! All levels of writers and poets are welcome. Feel free to ask a Quinlan staff member for a chair if you wish to write in the presence of the artwork; sit in the Quinlan’s Sculpture Garden for some fresh air; take a photograph of the piece and write at your leisure.

You can work at your own pace with at least 3 options available. The art materials/examples will be provided. \n​No prior art experience is necessary. No pressure to talk.

SUMMARY:Ekphrasis for the Masses - Quinlan Visual Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Writing POETRY in Response to Art at the Q \nSecond Tuesday of each month at the Quinlan\n12:00 pm- 1:00 pm I Open to the Public \nWhat is Ekphrasis?\nThe word ekphrasis comes from the Greek language and is used for a vivid\, often dramatic\, verbal description of a visual work of art. \nEkphrastic poetry may include literal descriptions of a work of art\, the poet’s mood in response to a work of art\, metaphorical associations inspired by a work of art\, or personal memories about a work of art. \nFive ways to write an Ekphrastic poem or story.\n– Describe what you see\n-Describe what’s happening beyond the frame\n– Write from the perspective of the artist\n-Give voice to a major or minor character in the image\n-Explain your response to the art \nThe “Q” continues to be a fountain of inspiration for artists\, writers\, readers and poets! Their walks through each gallery inspired by the art we see there have been rich in so many ways. It is a joy to have patrons of Ekphrasis return\, eager to discover nuances. Please join QVAC for this welcoming and fun poetry session to learn more about ekphrastic poetry and to write poems of your own! All levels of writers and poets are welcome. Feel free to ask a Quinlan staff member for a chair if you wish to write in the presence of the artwork; sit in the Quinlan’s Sculpture Garden for some fresh air; take a photograph of the piece and write at your leisure.
