Creative Writing - Using Your Senses - Newark Buttermarket - Adult Learning

About this course

We understand the world using our senses: sounds, sights, smells, tastes and touch. Being able to capture our sense-based impressions and use them in creative writing is a powerful way to make your writing connect with your reader.   In this five-session course you will focus on what our senses tell us, and how you can use that in whatever creative writing you enjoy: prose, poetry or creative non-fiction. Everyone is welcome: those who have done some writing already or want to give creative writing a try for the first time.   Each week, we will use one of our senses as the basis for writing exercises. We learn more about how each of our senses operates, and also which senses we rely on most as individuals. You will work with the link between your senses and your strongest memories, as well as flexing your creative powers to conjure up sense-rich descriptions of locations and situations.   The course helps you develop transferable skills such as active listening and how to give constructive feedback. Also, how your learning may fit with your next steps, for example a return to work or a volunteer role.
