Join A&L Director Jen Liese for a participatory workshop series focused on writing effectively and authentically about your own art or design for any purpose (graduate thesis, a website, an artist statement, a project grant, grad school applications, your own discovery …).
Five Wednesdays from 4-5 PM, starting January 12.
Email jliese@risd.edu to RSVP and get the Zoom link.
Let’s share some work and words. We’ll start with a conversation about where you are with your writing—what you’re working on, your goals, your questions. From there, we’ll respond to generative writing prompts together—on the spark or context behind your work, your precedents, your process, your plans. We’ll also look at exemplary, inspiring writing by artists and designers. Each week, we’ll set a goal for the next, then come together, share our progress and writing, and give feedback. Students can expect to complete a draft, open up ways of thinking and communicating, maybe even launch a new writing practice.
Questions and requests for alternate workshop times (groups of 3 or more) are welcome.
