Beginning a Creative Workbook: Using Mark Making to Think Through Writing

A Workshop with Yvonne Blomer

 In this three-hour class we will begin to think through a few pieces of writing, or a larger writing project using paint, found and cut up images, and words. Through play with images and texts, we can loosen our ways of approaching our written work and find new ways of writing, editing and thinking through a small or large project. I will offer writing prompts to help generate poems and prose, and provide instruction on playing with colour and images using watercolour paint, pencil crayons pens and collage. Through writing and mark making, you can explore multiple ways of creating and editing. We will create 2 full spread pages of writing and visuals while working on several new pieces of writing in this play-based class.

This is for all writers who want to explore using multimedia.

Bring: images from magazines or old photographs printed on paper for cutting and tearing, questions from a project you are starting or struggling with and 2 rough drafts of poems or prose.
