Building Language around Your Work (Online)

Led by an art editor, this intensive weekend workshop centers on exercises designed to help artists develop descriptive, conceptual, and expansive vocabularies for their work. The course involves independent and group writing prompts, close looking sessions, and reading assignments. Students should arrive with a written artist statement that addresses their recent bodies of work and be ready to receive and incorporate feedback. They should also be prepared to show and discuss their work in tandem with their writing. Participants leave with an edited statement, short writing samples, and a set of skills to continue developing language around their work.

Course Level / Prerequisite: Intermediate: You are familiar with a camera, whether film or digital.
