Four decades of experience have shown us that the most effective way of teaching, inspiring, and motivating writing students is to surround them with other writers.
At the Frederick Douglass Creative Arts Center, students share their work with
their
peers and their instructor and have it critiqued in a positive, friendly
environment. In
turn, they read, listen and respond to others' work. Such interchange and
interaction
among students, especially when moderated and directed by a workshop instructor
who is
both a professional in his field and an experienced teacher, helps each student
to grow as
a writer and achieve at a high level.
All workshops are limited to 12 students and they
meet for two hours once a week for 8-weeks. All workshops
are $200. Photography students will incur additional lab
fees of $20 per photo lab visit, two visits per cycle.
..
.
Workshops are offered 4 times a year: summer, fall, winter and spring. Not all
workshops
are offered every cycle. As of the Spring 2005 Cycle we
will be offering workshops in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Workshop cycles begin October, January, April and July.
