This two session workshop uses a blend of creative writing and arts-focused brainstorming exercises to help students develop ideas and begin their college essay. We will learn how to use original artworks as narrative, write image-based vignettes, and identify personal values that will provide a framework for a compelling college essay. This creative work will be balanced with instruction on structure and purpose in a college essay.

Participants will be expected to produce writing between sessions and share their work. The workshop is open to students pursuing a variety of college paths.
