Program Description

Event Details

In celebration of National Poetry Month, participants will combine art and writing to create visual poems in a fun, low-pressure environment. In this workshop, teens and tweens will explore concrete and shape poetry, in which the poem’s form enhances its meaning. This relaxed and fun program is a great way to express yourself and try something new.

Participants will learn:

  • How poetic form adds meaning and how shape can strengthen a poem’s message.
     
  • How to create a visual poem by turning ideas, objects, or feelings into a poem that uses form as part of the story.
