AIA: Blackout Poetry Art

Say what??? Blackout poetry art? What's that?

It's such a cool process! In a nutshell, you take a book page (or other printed media), pick out and circle words to create your distinctive poem, then cover the rest in your art. Here are the dets:

For this swap, you'll use one English language book page to create your poem & art. Use a page size that your partner can put into their journal if they wish. You need not be Maya Angelou to create a poem that's as unique as you! The art you add can be anything: doodle, watercolor, paint, ink, etc. Just have fun with it. It's ok to fold your piece to mail it. (Swap image found on Pinterest)
