Time: 1:00-3:00PM Location: Sandwich Arts Alliance Center, 124 Route 6A, Sandwich, MA Cost: $80 members/$95 non-members $15 Materials Fee is payable to the Instructor at the first class. This past year,some of our Visual Artists and our Literary Artists joined together to do an Ekphrasis contest in conjunction with Heritage Museum and Gardens. This course is an extension of that wonderful experience. Ann DesRoches will take you through the process that she used to create her painting interpretation, of Christie Lowrance’s poem “Creativity.”Ann will lead you in imagery exercises, to sketching ideas for compositions, color usage to painting style and applications that “ fit” the poem. If you want to dig deep , this is a real meat and potatoes type of class that will help you take your creative talents, to the highest level! Please bring a hard copy of the poem you have chosen to the first class. |
Painting by Ann DesRoches inspired by the poetry of Christie Lowrance
Creativity by Christie Lowrance
At the farthest reach of my mind a thought appears unbidden and remains motionless, indistinct poised for flight like a deer stepping out from the cover of woods at the edge of open land, ready to flee at the slightest sound of a twig snapping or a shadow passing suddenly across the sun. I've glimpsed it before, in snatches of dreams, fragments of a memory, and know that only I can call it forth. Only I. Still and silent I wait with outstretched hands, my writer’s hands, offering an invitation: Come, I say, come, it is safe here In the meadow of my mind. |
