Using Art to Inspire Poetry: Poetry Workshop in the Hilbert Museum by Jodie Hollander

Using Art to Inspire Poetry: Poetry Workshop in the Hilbert Museum by Jodie Hollander

Presented by Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University and Imagination Celebration at Hilbert Museum of California Art

Experience art at a new level and use it to inspire your writing! Acclaimed poet Jodie Hollander teaches this workshop, in which participants respond poetically to the scenic art inside the Hilbert Museum of California Art in Orange. Students will study examples of celebrated poems that respond to or were inspired by art. Then you'll be led through a variety of writing activities inspired by the museum's beautiful paintings, ultimately leading to a draft of an original poem. Students will discuss poetic techniques such as meter, the use of vivid imagery, the importance of sonics, how to shape a poetic line as well as techniques for drafting and revision. Age range: Middle school through adult. No experience necessary.
