Poetic Canvas- a process art course

"Poetic Canvas"

..... where words and images come alive

This art course is an invitation to bring a personally chosen poem to life—through colour, texture, and image. You’ll select a poem that resonates with your current life journey or speaks to a place you long for. From there, we’ll explore a range of creative techniques that help the words unfold into visual form.

Poetry speaks in images, and process art gives those images room to breathe. As we follow the thread of language into layers of mark-making and mixed media, we’ll discover new perspectives and give shape to stories that may be waiting to be seen.

"The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it."

—Jane Kenyon

I'm excited about this offering where we’ll explore how words and images can come together to tell our personal stories. You will use your poem as a creative guide through a variety of expressive techniques; including and not limited to mixed media collage, touch drawing, clay and print making.Poetry naturally speaks in images, making it a powerful starting point for visual exploration. As we work with a poem that move us, we’ll uncover layers of meaning and translate them into artworks. This journey will open up new ways of seeing, feeling, and expressing through art.

I so look forward to this exploration with you at the studio in Rondebosch or Constantia, choose an option that suits you, details below:
