A Visual Poetry Zine with Monotype
This post shares the making of a visual poetry zine, using collage and monotype.
The activity provides lots of space for visual interpretation/personal creative response to poetry or even film. It also provides an opportunity for a more intuitive exploration of colour, line and shape, as well as space for an exploration of the relationship between text and image on the page.
