Found Poetry
For this sketchbook assignment, you will remove pages from discarded books and use them to create "found poetry". Select several pages from the provided books (or use your own). Look for words that can create a poem. Arrange the pages in your sketchbook and attach them with a thin layer of glue. When the glue has dried, use a medium of your choice to outline the words and illustrate your poem on the remaining area of the pages.
