Art Appreciation
Poetry Reading
During the Autumn of 2007 the
participants in the Art Appreciation offering thought about color,
all colors. They discussed how artists use color to convey
emotion, how advertisers and holidays prepare us to associate color
with concept. They learned how to “say” colors using American Sign
Language. They made color collages using as many magazine pictures as
we could find. Yet mostly, they tossed around ideas using familiar
color associations and laughed at the silliness of rhymes we created.
Since we turned our rhymes into poems, it seemed only fitting to have a
poetry reading party. Poets and guests enjoyed sipping holiday punch
and snacking on popcorn while listening to the poems read aloud. Lots
of cheers and chuckles were shared in the SWC art room which felt like
it was transformed into a cozy cottage, complete with twinkling lights
and holiday centerpieces!
