Writing Workshop - Part 3
23 Abril 2021, 15:30 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio
Today we carried out our third and final Writing Workshop.
- Warm Up - 5 Senses:
- Close your eyes and stay still. Maybe you’re in your bedroom, maybe you’re in a coffee shop, maybe you’re at FLUL, it doesn’t matter where you are…
- Ask yourself: what do you smell? What do you hear? What do you taste? What’s the temperature? What do you feel? Finally…open your eyes and look around you. What do you see?
- Write a 1st person text that describes where you are and your sensorial experience in it.
- You have 10 minutes.
- Exercise 1: 5 Senses - Stage 2
- Choose one of the Edward Hopper paintings you’re about to see.
- Imagine you are one of the characters in the paintings.
- Write down what you:
- Smell
- Taste
- Feel (physically/touch)
- Hear
- See
- You have 15 minutes.
- Exercise 2: Dear Diary
- Now imagine that your character from the painting is writing a diary entry.
- Describe how they feel, in other words, what their mood is.
- Try to integrate the sensorial elements from the previous exercise.
- Your character can write about something that happened that day, or about their dreams, their frustrations, anything, just like a real diary.
- This is a 1st person text – you are the character.
- You have 20-30 minutes to write this text.
