Visual art and literature are deeply connected, both seeking to represent reality, emotions, and human thoughts. This workshop invites participants to explore how a work of art can inspire the creation of a story. Through detailed observation of visual pieces—whether paintings, sculptures, etc.—the stories emerging from the gaze will unfold.
Description
In this workshop, works of art will be presented, and participants will write stories inspired by what they observe. The emotions, narratives, and contexts arising from personal interpretation will be explored. As the workshop progresses, participants will work on observation techniques, character and setting creation, and the use of the senses as drivers of storytelling. At the end, participants will have a chance to share their stories in a collective reading, celebrating the intersection between visual art and the written word.
Note: Bilingual workshop. It will be given in both Spanish and English. All levels welcome.
