Visual Poetry with Laimah Osman

Through Aug. 25. Learn how to work visually with words. Break the word into shapes and bring it back to be read. Create visual poetry through color, texture, and repetition. As visual artists we understand images—a fish is a symbol for swimming and the ocean. Words are symbols too—they tell stories and are containers for emotion. Bring a word, a poem, lyrics or an excerpt from your favorite book; bring a sentimental hand-written letter or a cut out coupon. You will make a series of experimental prints varying in color (tint, texture and opacity), placement on the paper/surface, layering, and more!
