Visual Poetry with Briget Heidmous at Steadfast Supply
Visual Poetry is the hybridization of visual art and language, useful for poetic expression.
Promoting skills in composition, drawing, collage, and creative language use, Visual
Poetry is a fun and low-stakes way to explore our more adventurous and ineffable
cognitive connections.
In this workshop
Participants will enjoy a facilitated creative environment and leave with a visual poem of
their making.
The structure
Looking exercise
Instructions
Time for creative flow and supported work (remainder of time)
Depending on the pace and scale of the workshop, we may have time for show and tell.
You should bring…
Paper, journal, something to write on
Pencil, pen, markers, and mark-making instruments (no paint, calligraphy nibs, and/or watercolor).
Your curious mind
What are the benefits?
For all ages, this might look like exploring our sense of humor, mapping a thought, and enjoying aha moments about how we relate words and images outside the context of advertisements, reading, and formal environments.
Art making opens our mind/body connection, encouraging the Flow State. As we foster flow states in creative spaces, we more readily enter this flow in all aspects of our lives.
Surprising or not, creative making instills greater self-confidence and interest in our surroundings and social connections.
How can people support Briget’s work?
