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.

Art and About: Art in Olympic (South) Park

This course is an online talk (first session) followed by a guided walk on the second session. The online talk on Art in Olympic (South) Park will cover the design of Olympic Park as the first to integrate artworks into the landscape right from the start by established and emerging artists, international and local, which reflects the Park’s identity. And how the Olympic Stadium became home to West Ham’s Football Stadium and its players. The walking tour focuses on the artworks that are both large and striking, whilst others are smaller and harder to find, inspired by the undulating landscape, riverside, buried histories, community memories, and Olympic glory. The meeting point is the ArcelorMittal Orbit by Sir Anish Kapoor.
