Write Your Artist Bio Using Mind-Mapping

In this two-hour workshop taught by M. Kathleen Warren, artists will explore writing their artist bio using a more visual approach: mind mapping. Mind mapping is especially useful to capture thoughts, see relationships, discover new perceptions, even to begin organizing ideas and words before the artist starts to write sentences. We’ll discuss how the artist bio is different from an artist statement and then contrast the artist bio with a resume or CV. The techniques in this workshop are “analog” that is, using paper and pen rather than computer or software, and this holistic approach tends to generate “flow” for those who are more visual.
