Narratives of Art

Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April 2009 
Mid-Wales Arts Centre, Caersws
Cost: £130.00 / £95.00 (see below for details)

The weekend is going to be inspired by the art exhibition, where the theme will be landscape.  There is a variety of paintings and of course the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The course will look at landscapes, and the emotional value and associative memories of it, how characters interact with it; utilising both external and internal landscapes. A lot of the course will be using the paintings as stimuli in order to prompt people to write their poetry and short stories.  There will be writing exercises, time spent to be with the various pieces of art, feedback and discussion sessions, culminating with a reading on the Sunday, of everyone’s work.

The Saturday sessions run from 10.00 am – 5.00 pm. 
The Sunday session from 10.00 am – 2.00 pm.

Cost:
£130.00 includes Saturday and Sunday course / sessions and includes Saturday night accommodation.
