Blackout Poetry

Yesterday we started a new topic for term 4 in art hurumanu, we did blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when you blackout the words and make a new poem using the words of an article, a book, newspaper basically anything with words. We did this because we haven't done anything like this before and we are doing poetic arts this term. The first step is to get inspired by blackout poem, you can get inspired by searching it up, asking family members and more. The second step was to get a newspaper and find a part of writing and look through the words and pick the ones you like. After you have looked through the words you use a pen to box the words you like. Next, we get a black marker and blackout the words you don't need, make sure you don't blackout the words you like! After we cut out our work and glued it on a piece of coloured paper. We also did the same thing but we made a shape by blacking out the words we don't need. I liked doing this type of poetry because I have never done this type of poetry before. What was hard, making a shape of the fish for my shape poem. What was easy, blacking out the words I don't need for my poem.
