Description
How can you capture the poetry of a place visually? In this workshop, using poetry and collage, you will create your own individual definition of “place”. When you seek to capture the spirit and unique personality of a place, you are also expressing your personal experiences and memories.
This workshop gives each participant the skills to uncover and identify their own interpretation and style to create collages that communicate a deeper meaning of their favorite place. Each participant is also invited to use a poem or parts of a poem that will also express or connect to their favorite place. Images and text of poetry can be incorporated into their collages, or just their feelings or emotions can be expressed.
On the first day, we will hand paint papers and images and poetry will be gathered. Design elements and principles will be introduced on the second day. Then participants will work on their own collages on the 2nd and 3rd days.
We will explore the ways in which self and place interact, learning to connect our personal narratives to our external surroundings. Collage papers, imagery and poetry can help us explore our sense of place
