Line Breaker

28 Oct 2023                  | Saturday |    10:00-11:00am

for 5 – 8 year old

Poetry and music have 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 line-breaker poem. The basic organisational structure of a poem is the line, not the sentences. By breaking sentences and paragraphs into lines allows individual parts to take on greater weight by standing out and existing on their own lines. It gives different rhythm, pacing, and voices to the existing text.

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.
