Ekphrastic Writing Workshop

What is Ekphrasis?

Ekphrastic poetry has come to be defined as poems written about works of art; however, in ancient Greece, the term ekphrasis was applied to the skill of describing a thing with vivid detail. 

We’re going to expand the concept further to encompass any writing inspired by an artwork. Consider it fan fiction for your fave artist.
