Community Collages
Last month, we suggested a new poetry collage activity for the Every Day Poems poetry club. And today we want to share two collages from the community.
One is a digital collage of the second half of our Do the shells still hear poem. It contains many layers (and a few secrets)—using original photography, painting, and found-object collages as sources. (Collage by
.)The second piece is a traditional collage that incorporates paintings, cutouts, hand lettering, and even a sprig of lavender flowers. It is based on our poem Kindness, by Anya Silver. (Collage by Bethany R.) We absolutely love its colorful, beautiful spirit!
What’s Next?
We hope you enjoyed these community collages. Our October poetry club activity will be to craft a Cento from some of your favorite Every Day Poems lines. Watch for the invitation, soon.
Ooh, I love LL's collage! Those little windows almost like ornaments to gaze at and through. <3 Lovely balance throughout. I'm having fun playing I Spy. ;) I'm particularly drawn to the dream-like blue flower, and the blue writing on, what might be, a handmade paper envelope. Lovely.
I LOVE the photo you chose to put with this post. <3
