What is it about...

This blog is an assignment for the Art Illustration class which I take. However, I intend to utilize it also for my studies in Literature and Education. Ever since I took my first Art class, I was thinking how Art teaching methods could be applied to teaching Literature. I hope that working on this blog will help me to straighten up my ideas, and create a new usable interdisciplinary approach.

Concrete Poetry

Concrete poetry is a charming combination of visual and language art. Authors of concrete poems connect words and images into a wholesome unity in order to convey their ideas. If my boring explanation did not scare you off, open a book of Shel Silverstein poems and see for yourself that concrete poetry is very amusing and engaging.

Students of all ages (ALL ages - I mean it - from K to college) enjoy assignments for writing concrete poems.

Here is my concrete poem.
