Blackout Newspaper Poetry
I found this assignment to be difficult. It's hard to have an article in front of you that you have to completely reconstruct to say/mean what you want it to. It is also difficult to make three different pieces have a common theme. I made a few in class but I'm not sure I like them. I tried at home while blasting music and I found it really helped me be more creative and focused. So I made a few more but I don't think I'm completely satisfied with them yet, so I'll try again. I've read some others that people have created and they're quite well done. Some are funny and some really are great poetry. I hope to produce something decent in the end of this project.
This way of writing is very interesting to me. I've never thought of such a creative way of writing. I've always wanted to do something like this to see if I would be any good at it or enjoy it. Though I find it frusterating at times, I am enjoying the process. I find it more interesting than the other forms of writing we've done in the past such as listography, moment writing or doodling.
What have I learned about myself? Well not too much I must say. I pretty much knew I'd struggle with this project but like the creative outlet it's produced. That is exactly whats happened and how I feel about this assignment. Hopefully as I continue trying to make some decent poetry in this strange way I'll come out with something to be proud of.
