EKPHRASTIC WORKSHOP: ART GIVING BIRTH TO ART

This presentation gives one methodology to generate creative writing— photographic images “speaking a thousand words.” Besides the story of our Ekphrastic Workshop, which could template your efforts, this presentation may improve your approach to writing poetry and prose when faced with a blank page. Examples and/or testimonies from some of our members will be shared. The audience will take home a PPT with proven example prompts to create their own work.
