Art and About: Creative Writing at Tate Britain

The first session of this course will be online and the second session will be at Tate Britain. Join a creative writing online workshop writing poems about Tate Britain artworks, then visit Tate Britain to find your artworks and for more poetic inspiration with a published poet as your guide. You will meet up with those you met online on the morning before and respond to more art with further inspired writing. Ekphrastic poetry has come to mean poetry about works of art. You could describe the scene in a painting, what happened before, what happens after it and what is going on outside the frame; or write a monologue for the sitter in a portrait, or for the painter; or make a sculpture come to life. You will meet up with likeminded people and come away from this course with several inspired poems.
