The class will begin with choosing one’s own text or a favorite passage, and proceed to extract words that can be formed into poetic form. Discussion will center on various forms of poetry, how to pull out meaningful text and compose one’s own poem. The next step is to respond visually to it via drawing, collage, printing and\/or painting on the pages and transform them into a creative work of art. If time allows we will bind your pages into a book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis workshop references Tom Philip’s A Humument – Please visit his site and read the introduction at: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tomphillips.co.uk\/humument\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.tomphillips.co.uk\/humument\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequired Materials:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoose 2 spreads, or 4 pages of a literary novel book you like – something that is of interest to you and has meaning that you can respond to.
