SESSION ONE:   Myth-busting and approaches to describing art. 
In this session we will investigate some of the myths about artists and art-making that make it difficult to describe what we make and why we make it.  Through various discussions and activities we'll explore strategies that help us think about and describe our creative work.
NOTE:  We will be using a journal during workshops as well as in-between sessions.

SESSION TWO:   Sharing and workshopping ideas and language.
In this session we will share our artwork and ideas with one another, generating a list of words and phrases you can use to describe your work
NOTE:  Please bring a piece of finished work to share and show the group.  
SESSION THREE:   Formalizing strategies.
In our final session we will practice talking about our work in a variety of contexts, both prepared and formal as well as in ways that are more conversational and off the cuff.
