Becoming a better descriptive writer can help you improve your overall writing, and even help you become a better designer. Led by Yosr El Sherbiny (B.Arch, MAMD, Prospective MA Creative Writing), this two-part workshop begins with an interactive presentation around the tools and techniques behind descriptive writing, and the importance of storytelling. In addition, the art of critiquing will be introduced as a guide to help participants ask the right questions when looking at various bodies of text. A short writing assignment will be provided to the participants, which will be shared during the following session. Participants will use the 'art of critiquing' guideline to discuss the stories shared.
By the end of the two-day workshop, participants will be able to use descriptive writing tools that can give them a competitive advantage in their field, as well as be able to ask the right questions when reviewing a body of text. This workshop is for anyone (designer or non-designers) interested in improving their descriptive writing skills, as well as understanding the different types of questions to ask during a critique.
In line with current health and safety protocols, participants will be required to wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times.
