Shape Poems
This month in the ArtLab, practice the art of ekphrasis - a form of poetry that vividly describes a work of art. View Leon Benn's The Violet Hour and describe what you see, feel, and imagine in a poem that forms a shape you spotted in one of Benn's paintings. Look closely for symbols that hide within the many layers of these adventurous works! Decorate your shape poem with color and pattern.
