Students will first learn what an ekphrastic poem is through a brief written and verbal explanation. They will be told of different types of poems (such as odes and sonnets) that they may have heard of, and how rhyming isn't necessary in exphrasis. They will learn what some of the attributes of an ekphrastic poem are. Students will view a painting and its accompanying ekphrastic poem that the art inspired. There will be a brief review of what elements of ekphrasis were used in the example poem. 

Then, the students will view a painting, and we will discuss things about the painting that might inspire a poem. Next, time is set aside for students to write a short poem about the painting using the tools they've been given. As teacher, I will emphasize that poetry is subjective—it's all expression. As long as the art moved them to write the words that they did, then they've done it right!

Near the end of the class, each student will read their poem for the rest!

Perfil

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

My name is Troy E. Wilderson. I am an instructor who is equally passionate about creative writing and art, and I’ve made a career of doing both.

I teach a range of creative classes for a variety of ages. I am passionate about poetry, literary fiction, genre fiction, and the fine arts.  I also enjoy pop culture, music, and film, especially when their study crosses paths with art and writing. My courses include How to Write an Ekphrastic Poem, How to Draw Like Keith Haring, How to Draw Like Modigliani, How to Draw Like Roy Lichtenstein, How to Draw Like Wayne Thiebaud, How to Draw an Abstract Portrait, How to Write a Short Story, and my super creative Creating and Drawing an Underground World. 

I am a published author.  My writing has been published in the following publications: The Ekphrastic Review, Crack the Spine Anthology XVII, The Louisville Review, the Tishman Review, the Roanoke Review, The Notre Dame Review, and F(r)iction.

I have worked with students ages eight to eighteen as a certified substitute teacher. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Spalding University.  I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Macalester College and my Associates of Arts in Graphic Design from Pratt Institute.

As a writing and art instructor, my primary goal is to fully engage with the students and have them learn in a fun way. Having students learn a new skill or use their talent through my creative outlets are the reason I enjoy teaching. My interactive technique ensures a pleasurable experience for all of my students. My hope is that my enthusiasm for art and writing is infectious.

Outside of writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing Scrabble, and going to museums and plays.
