The Altered Page: Visual art and creative writing integration
Audience: Can be adaptable 6-12
Description of presentation: This project involves integration of creative and the visual arts.
Participants start by creating a “found” poem on pages taken from discarded books during a
guided creative writing activity. These pages are then glued to sturdy pressboard and the
project continues with the artist illustrating his/her poem using both metaphoric and/or literal
imagery in mixed media. Participants in this workshop will create their own unique piece of
found poetry/mixed media illustration during this hands-on workshop to use as an example
to take back to their students. Many materials are provided, but participants are encouraged
to bring their preferred mixed media supplies and tools as well as blow dryers, paint brushes,
xacto knives/scissors and a cutting surface. This lesson is adaptable to most age levels,
but the workshop and materials are designed for 10-12 curriculum.
