Poetry Pieces Update

It seems that giving instructions and notes about using larger sheets of paper allows students to have a heart-flutter or two. A3 paper is really only double A4 and gives marginally more space to work on. In fact, I often feel that working on A3 gives the artist space to breathe.

Today we stretched paper, created colour swatches and writing samples ready for the writing in the next few days. We used tracing paper to work out ideal placement, so hopefully all is ready to complete some great work.

We have three 'finished' pieces to enjoy. Two on canvas and one on water colour paper. Next time I will add  the the completed poems on good paper, hopefully completed and beautifully executed.
