When English and Art Meet
By Lorraine Brown and Tayler Morencie
On February 13, two of Grade 12 English and Visual Arts classes joined forces to discuss and explore poetry; the guiding intention was to expose students to post-modernist poetic forms and to explore how form enhances/complicates meaning. Visual Arts students are currently investigating contemporary self-portraiture and are writing poems that compliment their artistic vision.
Together, our senior English and Visual Arts students read and discussed some poems by Ruth Dallas, Marlene Nourbese Philips and Claire Harris. These poets play with language, punctuation, and with conventional perceptions of poetic structures. Students were encouraged to review their own poems and explored how and if their choice of language and form reflected their artistic vision. Ms. Brown's English classes supplemented discussions by offering feedback on both the selected poems and the poems of our student artists. Watch for the announcement of the exhibit of both the contemporary self-portraits and the accompanying poems!
