Program Description

Event Details

Found Poetry is poetry that anyone can write. We'll use visual art (painting, drawing, collage) to create an original poem. No poetry knowledge required—we will be finding our language in old books, magazines, journals, newspapers. Art supplies and text will be provided. 

For grade 6-12.
