Teenagers Write A Letter, A Postcard, A Poem or A Narrative in Invented Text

By Sheila Ceccarelli

Teenagers were invited to write a letter, a postcard or a poem, either to themselves, or about anything at all, but not to be written in actual, ‘legible’ letters, but instead marks and invented text.

All I did was provide a few materials from which the teenage artists could choose any.

The initial idea for this session was planted by the wonderful AccessArt contributor, Sue Gough.
