G/T- Visual Poetry

This unit will focus on writing poetry and creating artworks that help represent the poems.
We will create a few different pieces during this unit, based on different themes and types of poems. Take a look below for the first poem project.

Mirror Image Poetry

For this poem you will create an object from a mirror image photo of an object of your choosing.  Your poem should include something about the old object and the newly created object.


Instructions:

1. Take a picture of an object in the room.
2. Using the mirror and copy function on lunapic.com turn your object into something new.
3. You may use the other tools to add to your object if you would like.
4. Save your image and place it into a google doc.
5. Write your poem below your image. 




I Am Fingerprint Poem


Fingerprints are composed of a unique combination of ridges that make patterns of loops, deltas and arches, as well as ending ridges, broken ridges, island ridges, forks, dots, bridges, spurs, eyes, bifurcations and other distinguishing marks. 

Fingerprinting is the only notably unchanged and infallible means of identifying individuals. In 80 years of fingerprint classification, no two identical sets have been found.





I Am poems are used to help express yourself as an individual. You will be using a formulaic type I Am poem to create your piece, then you will write it in the shape of a fingerprint to represent you. Two examples of I Am poems are listed below with completed examples.





 





Instructions

1. Complete one of the I am poems above or find your own to complete.
2. After you finish the poem, find one of the fingerprint templates that resembles your fingerprint.
3. Using the template as a guide, write the poem following the lines of the fingerprint.
You may use whatever colors you would like.
