Writing & Art
A Workshop for Artists, Writers
and Lovers of Art
Saturday, April 3, 2010
1:00-5:30
Tawes Hall
Frostburg State University Campus
Cost: FREE
In conjunction with the Allegany Arts Council,
the Frostburg Center for Creative Writing is proud to host its fourth
annual Writing & Art Workshop--a program for artist who need to write,
creative writers who love art, and lovers of art who want to write art
reviews.
Featuring faculty who are practicing artists
and writers in their own right, the workshops will provide students with
the skills necessary to write about about their own art or about the art
they love.
Registration can be done through emailing
the Center at cwcenter@frostburg.edu.
The two workshops include:
Art as a Muse
How visual art can inspire and enhance the writing process. Workshop participants
will learn how to interact with and respond to art of all mediums in order
to create stories and poems. Students will also work with techniques that
engage the artwork beyond responding to it or describing it. *Students
are encouraged to bring in pictures of their favorite artwork.
Making Art from Literature
Workshop participants will create text and images pieces, primarily through
drawing and hand-lettering. No drawing experience needed. Any drawing
level is appropriate. Participants should bring pens, pencils, and erasers.
Bring no-mess colors (colored pencils, colored markers, NOT paint) if
you have them. Paper will be supplied, but participants can bring extra
paper. Most important, participants should bring text sources (their own
writing, or the writing of others): poetry collections, novels, essays,
whatever inspires.

Art as a Muse - George Guida
George Guida has published two collections of poems,
Low Italian (Bordighera Press, 2006) and New York and Other
Lovers (Smalls Books, 2008). His poem "Left Behind" won
a 2009 North Sea Poetry Scene Prize. His 2009 Pushcart Prize-nominated
story, "Rome," part of a novel-in-progress, appears in
J Journal (Spring 2008). His collection The Pope Chronicles
will appear in 2011. His play, "The Pope Play," was given
a 2009 workshop production in New York City by Teatromania and Theatreworks.
His essays on popular culture appear in various journals.
George believes with all his heart that writers
need to be immersed in world of art or a reasonable facsimile. His
work includes poems that respond to countless paintings and sculptures,
memorable and not; to films such as "Boom!" (the film
version of Tennessee Williams The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore)
and "Scarface" (Yes, the Pacino remake); to theatrical
works such as Henry V and I Pagliacci; to the architecture of cities
great and small.

Making Art from Literature - Bill Dunlap
Bill Dunlap splits his time between Western Maryland
and New York City. Most of the art-making happens in Maryland. His
work has been shown in galleries, museums, and art fairs across
North America and Europe. His work is included in several permanent
collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art and a recent
acquisition by the University of Wisconsin. He was also recently
selected as one of six Maryland artists to participate in Aesthetically
Lyrical in Rural Maryland, a statewide barn mural project to combine
poetry and painting. In the Spring of 2006 he was a Fellow and Artist-in-Residence
at The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. His work has been
featured extensively in art magazines, books and on many art blogs.
He also works as an illustrator, and his images and cartoons have
appeared in magazines and newspapers nationwide.
