I am getting ready for the Books as ART Materials class and having fun making found poems.
Books are mostly words and pages, so I like to find ways to use those elements in new art work.
I like to:
- Cut words and phrases out of several different books, with different font sizes
- Then rearrange the words into a 4 line poem
- Some poems I really love
- And some are just part of the process of making
I also use old book pages at scrap to catch excess glue from the glue stick.
Give this meditative poem making a try!
If you want to explore more ways to use old books, then join us in Books As ART Materials, the online class. Read the details here.
