What attracts you to a given work of visual art? How does it speak to you and capture your imagination? How might you-as-writer borrow the persona and techniques used to create an intriguing piece of visual art to enlighten and invigorate your writing?

Students will build on The Writers Studio teachings on persona narrator, mood, tone, and other elements of craft. This six-week class is for students with some familiarity with the Writers Studio method. This class is open to those who have completed three or more eight-week Writers Studio classes.

This class will be conducted via Zoom.

Students who have taken three or more terms of a six-week class are eligible for Level 2 or an Intermediate class.
