BLOG #4

This is a creative assignment. Complete A or B.

A. Write a poem inspired by one of the poets we have read. Share the poem on the blog and comment on which poem or poet that inspired it.

B. Create your own art piece (painting, drawing, poster board) inspired by a poem we read. Look back at Walter Dean Myers Harlem for inspiration, but you can also use your own life experience and places you've been. Take a picture of your painting and save it to your computer--then insert an image of the painting on your blog entry. Please also comment on what inspired the painting--what is the poem that gave you inspiration, and what does it mean to you? How does it relate to your painting?
