Like a school marm armed with a yard stick, a good art writer demands that we pay attention to the artist, that we maintain a heightened level of curiosity and fascination, that we care about who they are what they do, and what they have to tell us. A good art writer does this with powerful, colorful words, artfully constructed sentences, and paragraphs so well designed the reader may come to see even the most minimalist work as the Fiesta of Fiestas, to see brown as the luscious tone of aged oak, and art in general as the very essence of life itself.
Art Writing for Artists and Art Lovers is for those who wish to develop skills to communicate about their work and for those who wish to explore art through writing. Writing about art means using language to effectively communicate visual experience which can be deeply emotional or intellectual. For writers in general, mastering art writing will inform how one creates fiction or reports on the world around them. Through a combination of group discussion, writing exercises, and art viewing, this workshop will help participants develop skills to write about art.
The class is taught by Ric Kasini Kadour, the former Vermont Editor of Art New England, co-author of the Vermont Art Guide, and publisher of Art Map Burlington.
