Renowned writer Oscar Wilde once said in his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, “Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.”
From classic to contemporary pieces, eye-popping designs and innovation inspire a lot of people to write. Colors, textures, materials, origin–there are various points of interest to draw upon even a succinct but engaging account of a design masterpiece.
But how does one write about such creations?
Inspired by the ongoing German exhibit “Somewhat Different. Contemporary Design & the Power of Convention,” Writer’s Block Philippines (WBP) will be holding a workshop on feature writing about design and innovation.
Entitled “Writing the Trends Piece,” the writing workshop will be held at the Yuchengco Museum on May 26, 2012 (Saturday) from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The workshop will be facilitated by Writer’s Block Philippines’ editor- founders Ana Santos, Nikka Sarthou, and Niña Terol-Zialcita, together with Yuchengco Museum curator Jeannie Javelosa. It fuses practical knowledge about writing, an overview of art and design trends in the Philippines, and hands-on feature writing and art appreciation exercises to give the participant a starting point for covering themes on art, design, and innovation.
