Sheridan Center Workshop

Writing is an iterative process that involves generating ideas, drafting, reflecting, receiving feedback, and revising—steps that can often feel opaque to students. This interactive workshop facilitated by Jessica Metzler, Sheridan Center Associate Director, takes an object from the RISD Museum’s collection as a starting point to defamiliarize and reflect on the writing process by approaching it through a set of visual exercises. This allows for a discussion on ways to demystify academic or creative writing for students. We will explore ideas for classroom writing exercises and activities for teaching with objects more generally. This session is recommended for faculty, graduate students, and postdocs in any discipline who seek ways to support student writing in their courses.
