Did you know you could paint with letters and draw with words?
Teaching your students how to write a visual poem can be a great activity. A visual poem is also known as concrete poem or shape poem. In this type of poem the words form a picture. The letters and the shape of the words work together to convey the theme, meaning and emotion of the poem.
Exploring this art form along with your students can be a lot of fun. The combinations of drawing and words opens up many creative possibilities. Begin by showing your students examples of visual poems. Look online. Many poets are now publising online, so you are likely to find quite a few. Reading some of this poems together will give your students a feel for how visual poems work.
Here you have a well structured presentation that will help to start a project on visual poetry.
You can also send their pieces of art to us, indicating name, age and school. You might see your students' poems published in our blog. We will send a diploma and a small present to the best creations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you cannot view the video or prefer to work with a power point presentation (with greater definition and image quality), please, do not hesitate to contact us at the CEP Valle de La Orotava, we will send it to you by e-mail.
