Painting the Essence of Italy Workshop


Here is part of the afternoon poetry painting class. After our walking tour in Florence and seeing the Galleria dell' Accademia where David is, we did an Ekphrastic poem, whereby, the picture seen in a museum is written in words of our making. Another day we did an exercise, whereby we had a conversation with a meaningful object that we encountered in our morning session and incorporated these words into our painting. We also did some Haiku and Formula poetry. At the end of the week we collated our painting poetry pages and compiled them into a Japanese stab-bound book.

Oh, Rosie, your workshop looked like a wonderful experience! Would you ever share the name of the company you went with? I'd love to go!
