WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR ALL PRIMARY SCHOOL LEVELS
March 1 and 2, 2016 The Bermuda National Gallery (BNG), in conjunction with a number of Bermudaʼs published poets, artists, educators and writers, would like to offer your students the experience of using original artwork in the museum as inspiration. Join us for a creative writing workshop led by some of Bermudaʼs finest talents. Students will be encouraged to explore words and the arrangement of words to express visual images. Writers will share their expertise, and guide students through the creative process. If time permits, the students will share their own creative expressions. Participating teachers will receive professional development hours. Please review the attached schedule. Select a host, date and session time that works for you and your students.
