Erin will introduce artists’ who use other writer’s words in combination with collage to create their own narratives. These artists make collages or even whole books with new stories running in parallel to the original text. We will talk about erasure or blackout poetry, and then try our hand at it, finding a new poem in the printed text. We will then add collage elements, drawing, and paint on top of our poetry page to create a new work of art. The interplay of paint and collage and poetry leads to wonderful and unexpected art and writing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJoin Zoom 15 minutes early for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and class participants!
