\"Creative<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome to new guest columnist\u00a0Khanh Ho, associate English professor. In this article, he offers a writing exercise to spark your creativity: describe a picture.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

In my time both as a student and professor of Creative Writing, I have found that exercises built around material objects never cease to astound, amaze and inspire.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about holding an object in your hand;\u00a0<\/strong> it focuses the mind; it steadies the voice.<\/p>\n

This exercise I am about to share with you is a sure winner among young and old. It always gets the juices flowing. And it\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0have to remain simply an exercise\u2014it can be easily incorporated into the body of a story\u2014where it can take off.<\/p>\n

Have you ever walked into a stranger\u2019s home and looked at the many picture frames of every shape, size and make\u2014silver and wood and steel? Each of those pictures tells a story about its owner\u2014of triumphs and loss, joy and pain\u2014that encapsulates their whole experience.<\/p>\n

I used to sell candy for my elementary school (door-to-door) and nice, little old ladies would often invite me into their houses, filled with wondrous frames on old doilies. They would boil me tea and tell me about the many men and women who peopled their frames. When those women\u2014now no doubt long gone\u2014left the room, I would hold those frames in my little paws and look at those fine old men in double-breasted suits with their hands behind the backs of beautiful bobbed flappers. I loved the pictures that were black and white, almost as much as I loved those with scalloped edges. There was a world in those pictures.<\/p>\n

Writing Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So, your task is easy:\u00a0 find a picture\u2014the older the better\u2014and attempt to narrate it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"couple<\/a>Group pictures work best here. But you don\u2019t have to necessarily be in the picture. And indeed if you are a really good writer, you don\u2019t even need to know any of the folks who appear like apparitions on the paper. Just try to describe the picture and you will learn a lot about detail, gesture, characterization, setting.<\/p>\n

The Greeks have a fancy name for this exercise:\u00a0 ekphrasis<\/i>\u2014representing a representation. A picture of a statue, for instance, is an example of ekphrasis<\/i>.<\/p>\n

As is a painting of a painting. Keats\u2019s \u201cOde on a Grecian Urn\u201d is a wonderful example of ekphrasis: a description of a beautiful work of art, the story described by its black and white figures\u2014all caught in a poem.<\/p>\n

\"old<\/a>Ekphrasis<\/i> can be both an academic exercise and also a fully productive artistic enterprise.<\/p>\n

But now that I have named this exercise, let\u2019s dispense of the fancy-schmancy moniker and just call it this:\u00a0 a description of a photograph.<\/p>\n

There! Isn’t\u00a0it less intimidating?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this writing exercise by\u00a0Khanh Ho. Please comment below about your experience describing pictures to spark your creativity.<\/p>\n

\"Khahn<\/a>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/em> Khanh Ho<\/strong> spent many years living in a small town in rural Iowa, teaching Creative Writing at Grinnell College\u2014a small liberal arts college, nestled in a windswept prairie whose distinguishing feature is the presence of a Super Walmart.\u00a0 But then he had a light bulb epiphany:\u00a0 he\u2019ll never produce writing if he persists in teaching it. So, now he is happily pounding away at the keyboard, knocking out not only his first mystery novel but, also, the first mystery novel featuring the first Vietnamese American detective. Why? Because, yes, he\u2019ll be the first; yes, it\u2019ll be a power trip; and yes, because he can!
