Poetry from Art: Collaborating with Art Teachers
When students have the opportunity to write from their own paintings, or work their poetry and art together as one, the creative process deepens. Looking closely for detail, listening with sensitivity, they discover how the insights from painting may enrich their writing, and writing inspire their painting. Wonderful, serendipitous things happen.

These paintings by fourth graders were inspired by artist and teacher Colleen Pearce in a study of Georgia O’Keeffe.
