It’s hard to imagine a young Pablo Picasso learning to draw hands, or eight-yr-old Duke Ellington practicing scales. But for every art form, there are basic skills and forms that precede innovation. With some attention to these fundamentals, we can better appreciate the classics and better channel our own creative energy. In this three-part workshop, we will focus on the building blocks of formal poetry (feet, meter, rhyme) and the imagery of the senses. The first half of each session will involve close examination of well-known poems; the second half will involve interactive exercises and sharing our work with others. The workshop will involve three two-hour sessions in the Parish House on Saturday mornings, 10:00am to Noon, Sept. 10th, 17th, and 24th. Limited to 15 participants. Suggested donation to OMH of $30 for the three classes.
