Cut-up Poems  

25 Sep 2023  |  Monday  | 4:00-4:00pm

for 5 - 8 year old

Poetry and music has the power to express emotions, create cohesion, and suggest an identity. They have great educative power, and are expressive mediums that have highly therapeutic effects on the mind.

In this workshop, children will be guided to finish a cut-up poem. Cut-up poetry is literally made of clippings that have been cut apart and reassembled into a poem. It is a type of modern poetry that is no longer required to follow strict rules and poetic techniques.

Upon completion of the workshop, students will be able to:

1.  understand the basics of poetry

2.  demonstrate the ability to be creative and think out of the box

3.  finish a poetry art that will be displayed at the Carrickfergus Museum in Dec 2023

The Voices of Children is a poetry and music composition project that encourages the appreciation of words and music among children.
