Location:&nbsp;The Foundry (101 Rogers Street, Cambridge), The Point Course Description:&nbsp;Part of the Art and The Expanded Field pop up programming series, this course invites writers, painters and visual artists of all experience and skill levels to explore text and poetry through a visual lens, offering students a framework for the creation of their own visual poem. Students will be introduced to visual and painted poetry from across centuries and continents, including works of Japanese haiga, illuminated manuscripts from the Mughal Empire, calligrams by Guillaume Apollinaire, Dimitri Prigov and E.E. Cummings, and contemporary work by artists like Adam Pendleton, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Genesis Breyer P. Orridge. The workshop concludes with a generative session where students are invited to create their own visual or painted poem, with access to materials and personalized guidance from instructors. Students will explore illustrating/expressing textual narratives through shape, color, texture and placement as well as exploring visually formatting text and its varied effects.
