WRITING AS AN EASY ART—ONLINE

“Writing As An Easy Art came forth at just the right time and place for my participation! Jill Badonsky made the class so free, fun and enjoyable on so many levels. She is highly skilled at bringing out the best in her students in an unforced, kind and playful manner. I highly recommend any future courses she teaches through the Athenaeum.”

I recommend this course or any one given by this instructor.”

“Thinking about and doing writing is very new to me. I am a scientist with no writing experience except for dry scientific papers. Jill encourages and offers the space to give it a try, and also be pleased with your results. So exciting.”

“I didn’t want this course to end. Each week, our instructor brought new, fun, thoughtful and surprising writing activities that felt refreshing, inspiring and playful. I especially liked the variety offered in the writing and image/picture prompts. Using Art to inspire writing and writing to inspire art is such a wonderful strategy designed to support my creativity and self-expression journey. Thank you Jill Badonsky and I can’t wait for the next class!”

“Jill Badonsky’s Writing As Easy Art course was a joy to be a part of! She is so skilled at bringing out the best in each of her students by way of fun, lighthearted experiences of both art and word that truly enrich, enliven and elevate. Consider taking any of her courses as you will be forever changed as you find or expand, (as whether the case may be), your creative voice!

I am also including a short bit of words that I wrote for an exercise we did on the last day of Writing as Easy Art, November 10, 2020.

Defining progress put her in boxes that never fit
Linear is what is expected but is never happening
Taken from understanding into feeling
She emerges unscathed from the trap time and convention tried to keep her in”
