Through slide presentation and informal group discussion, we will examine passages from a range of novelists and poets alongside specific artworks.  Participants will be encouraged to express their personal responses to both the writing and the images, opening up new ways of thinking about art and literature. 

No experience or prior knowledge is necessary. Texts to be discussed will be provided on Canvas and students may find it helpful to read some of this material beforehand, but may prefer to just come along and enjoy the words and images over the two days.

Similarly pre-existing knowledge will be developed by discussing the techniques employed by painters in the creation of their compositions.
