Picturing
Writing: This two- or three-day introductory workshop will introduce teachers experientially to the dynamic relationship between art and writing. As participants are guided through a carefully designed progression of art-and-literature based writing mini-lessons, they will come to understand how the language of words and the language of pictures enhance each other. Teachers will learn how to create simple crayon resist paintings that will be used to inspire descriptive passages, poetry, and stories. They will also learn how to access rich descriptive language as they explore key literary elements in poetry and prose.
Picturing Writing is ideal for inspiring budding young writers as well as for reaching students of all ages who are more visually or kinesthetically inclined. Picturing Writing: Fostering Literacy Through Art can be taken by itself or as a precursor to either Picturing Writing: Integrated Curriculum Workshop or Image-Making Within The Writing Process. This workshop also provides an excellent follow-up for teachers who have already taken the Image-Making workshop.
