Conversations: Painting and Poetry, Saturday, April 6, 10-11 am

Posted on April 5, 2013 by nling

Been in the winter doldrums? Looking for a creative outlet? Come be inspired by author/illustrator Nancy Poydar (First Day Hooray, Zip, Zip Homework, and Fish School) and author/poet Nancy Tupper Ling (My Sister, Alicia May, Character, and Coming Unfrozen).

In this hour-long intergenerational workshop, we will create poems from paintings and/or paintings from poems, depending on your preference. Called Ekphrasis, this conversation between one artistic media and another is as old as Plato and Socrates.

Just bring your imagination and you will go home with your creation in hand! The recommended age group is 4^th grade through adult.

Sign up at the Information or Reference Desk or call 781-769-0200, x110 or x222.
The library is handicapped accessible.
