Intersections: Where Poetry Meets Art

• JY3-A5F6
• Ages: 13–18
• Instructors: Glenn Graver [ bio ] & M.J. Iuppa [ bio ]
• Mornings, 9 a.m.–Noon
• Note: Additional supply fee: $5

Intersections is a journey into the exploration of word and image, and how the two are connected.

This workshop will provide an opportunity to create and illustrate poems (with drawings, collages or both) and house this new work in a chapbook of your own design. Covers for the chapbook will be “manipulated” Polaroid SX-70 photographs you create.

Please bring a “treasure box” of items which represent your dreams, hopes—things that are special to you! The things in your box will be a prompt for writing and may create a still life for drawing or photographing.

Intersections will prove a productive workshop for your creative mind!
