Staffordshire University
29 March 2012
This is the
first workshop in the Writing in Creative Practice Series, which is run in
conjunction with Writing PAD and funded by the Higher Education Academy.
This workshop will look at how academic practice that seems to
be hidden to students’ understanding of the term ‘research’ can be highlighted
through a variety of learning and teaching activities. The author of Inspiring Writing in Art and Design: Taking
a Line for a Write, Pat Francis, will lead part of the day in which exploratory
writing will be tried, as well as collage and other making activities in order
to visualise research activities such as questioning the provenance of a text.
Conceived as a hands-on day with lots of activities and
discussion, Sarah Williamson will introduce the participants to the making of
individual artists’ books in order to capture the impressions of individual
participants in a creative and visual way – and let them experience the
suggested strategies rather than just hearing about them.
Pictures of works in progress and other participant
reactions to the theme will be submitted as a photo essay to the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice.
The attendance of this workshop is free of charge to all
those interested in the workshop topic, with preference being given to staff
working in HE institutions and HE in FE colleges from across the UK. Places
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Lunch and refreshments
will be provided, but travel expenses will not be covered.
