If you need to add structure to your writing practice or writing work, need help turning an image into a scene or a scene into a story, can hear a character's voice in your head but can't see them in the context of their story, or just feel jaded by old revision techniques, then this class is for you!
In this course, we will borrow techniques and tools from the visual arts. While outlines might seem constricting or old-fashioned or uninspiring, instructor Cinelle Barnes will lead the class in using outlines, illustration, and other visual tools to add focus, depth, form, structure, and texture to prose. Plus, drawing is just plain fun! Your writing practice can always use more playfulness and joy!
No artistic skill necessary, if you can draw a triangle, a square, a circle, some arrows, spirals, and stick figures, you’ll be able to use these methods.
