If you’re seeking for ways to make your visual art meaningful, then learning how to edit with intention is the best place to start. Four online group sessions on Zoom, limited to 12 participants.

Midwest Conference | Image Maker Lecture

Saturday 19 October 2024 - 1:30PM to 2:30PM Don Werthmann describes how teaching portfolio development courses informed and inspired the production of thousands of photographs, that eventually became a book of visual poetry. The book is designed as an instructional aid for teachers to discuss image editing, sequencing, syncopation, phantom properties, and other visual flow strategies to organize large bodies of work. For creative writing teachers, the single image or sets of images can function as triggers for writing Ekphrastic Poetry or Ars Poetica.
