Poem Writing Art Assignment during Coronvirus Pandemic
creative assignment free homeschool poem writing Stephen Lursen art teacher
Stephen LursenThis is part 1 of my middle school art student's assignment. I'm posting it here for all homeschoolers and new homeschool parents who find themselves interested in a new, globally-minded, and relevant creative art project for themselves or their kids. Enjoy!
Here’s the idea. Each one of us/you will brainstorm and write a poem about the coronavirus and/or social distancing and how you are handling it. You will edit this poem for clarity, cleverness, and grammar and turn it in.
Make it real and emotional by giving specific true-to-life examples, or make it super creative by writing an allegory or metaphor for your current experience.
- An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
- A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
- A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanza structure.
Once you're finished with your poem, move on to part 2: illustration

Stephen LursenStoryboard Design is a commonly used practice within a production process for show business but is also extremely beneficial for brainstorming book illustrations. Its basically brainstorming and showing multiple potential layouts, compositions, and examples of how you can illustrate a line or event from within your book. Here is a video to reference to gain a better understanding of what storyboarding is all about. I want you to write one of your sentences from your story at the top of a page.

How To Evaluate Your Art by Stephen Lursen

Stephen LursenHi! Welcome to today's blog article where I talk about how you can evaluate, consider, and develop your artwork. To begin talking about how to evaluate art in general, you must first have a strong understanding of how to talk about the elements and principles of art and design. Once you can break apart a painting into its core elements and principles, you can critique it alone or in a group and ensure everyone else understands exactly what you're talking about. It also allows you to simplify a potentially complicated image to evaluate the core purpose or message within the art...
