Blackout Poetry

Tuesday 5 April, 4 - 5 pm

Blackout poetry is the treasure hunt of poetry. You find words that catch your interest from a newspaper, book, or magazine. You then “blackout” the words you don’t want, creating your own poem. Not only will you become a poet for the day, but also an artist as we take the poem and create a collage around it with a variety of mixed media. This is great for all teens.
