Literacy & Visual Arts

March 23, 2020

Poetry and Visual Art creates a powerful combination. Poetry is an expression that distills language down to its very essence. Each word and line carries weight, tone, texture and meaning – the same elements as Visual Art. In these programs, students write poetry related to their current studies and interpret this into visual art – thus increasing the students’ basic language, writing and vocabulary skills; enhancing innovation, creativity, and critical thinking, which is intrinsic to learning through the visual arts; and increasing their art knowledge and abilities by introducing diverse media and techniques.
