What makes Blake one of the most challenging writers in English?
Poet, artist, printer, visionary and activist, Blake's genius
embraced contradictions and complexities. A controversial
figure in his age, Blake emerged as a leading figure from
the Romantic Movement and continues to inspire modern artists,
writers, philosophers, musicians, poets and readers. Outraged
at the conditions created by the Industrial Revolution and
Colonial policies, Blake raged against poverty, injustice
and environmental degradation. At the same time, he was a
deeply spiritual visionary whose mysticism was balanced by
his practical work as an engraver. No other English writer
has so fully explored the relationships among word, sound,
color and image. Through workshops and activities, students
will develop their skills as visual artists, poets, writers,
performers and critical thinkers as they explore and respond
to Blake's visionary imagination.
