Writing can provide deeper insight and is a way to share your thoughts and ideas about a work of art (or an entire exhibition). This three-part workshop begins with a discussion of selected essays on art. At the second session we’ll be joined by guest art critics, including Edith Newhall, for an informal conversation about different approaches to writing about art. We’ll choose a work from the Museum’s permanent collection for participants to try their hand at writing a well-developed, three-page essay. During the third class, we’ll read and discuss each other’s work and give useful feedback to further refine our writing—as well as our looking. Selected essays will be mailed to participants for reading before the first class.
