The "Art" of Poetry
Lesson 3
Show how illustrations accent poetry.
Illustrations are pictures. Similar to pictures, poetry paints ideas using words and pictures uses images to paint our ideas.
Visit a link to an illustrated poetry site. See how the author and illustrator complement each other's work.
Write 2 rhyming lines about the above picture.
Now choose a media
and make an original illustration for one of the poems found at a
link on Lesson 2.
Make sure your media portrays the same mood as your poem.
For example: A limerick is funny. A cartoon is funny. The moods
would be similar and appropriate.
