Word to your mother



Gracie
This was a fun project for 6th grade. We talked about an artistic collaboration between the artist Norman Bluhm and the poet Frank O'Hara (click the link for some examples). We also looked at artists who use words in their art like Robert Indiana.


 Mattie
 I then gave them a list of lines of poetry and asked them to choose one line and draw a picture inspired by it. They were free to interpret it however they chose, but my only requirement was that the words had to be part of the picture.




Tori
Some of them tried to be a little too literal with their interpretations, but they also made some beautiful images, as you can see here.

   Sorry this one flipped. I can't figure out how to re-orientate it.  


 Chloe
This one, too.
