Colorful Poetry - A Blackout Poetry Remix

Primary tabs

Age Group:

Tweens (Age 8-12), Teens

Program Description

Event Details

Discover the art of blackout poetry in this creative workshop! 

Instead of using traditional Sharpies, we'll experiment with acrylic paint markers to design unique, colorful, and textured blackout poems. Using pages from old books, you'll select words to form a poem while artistically covering the rest of the text with vibrant patterns, shapes, and designs. 

No prior experience needed—just bring your creativity! All supplies will be provided.
