Materials Lab Workshop: Ekphrastic Collage Inspired by Modern and Contemporary Art

Tuesday, December 5 join artist, poet and educator Lio Olin to learn about the long history of ekphrastic writing. Ekphrasis, from the Greek word for the written description of a visual work of art, has changed how visual art is viewed and approached. The group will first gather in the modern and contemporary art galleries to take part in guided writing exercises about a work of the attendee's choosing. That work will then provide inspiration for creating a mixed-media collage. The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on the Lower Level and there is a $15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Materials fee must be paid to confirm registration. Please email am_register@harvard.edu or call 617-495-1440 to join the waitlist. Minimum age of 14; no previous experience required.
