Digital Media: 4 frame video poem

April is National Poetry Month and we will celebrate by merging art, media, and poetry together to create an original 4 frame video poem this week.  Today we will work on writng and we will learn different approaches and formats.  Tomorrow we will concentrate on and editing and creating images to support the work and Thursday we will assemble our animated creations.  Above is an example that I created and wrote to give you a better idea of what to expect but feel free to be creative and interpret the assignment openly!

Below are a few favorite video poems from Billy Collins, Reverend Pedro Pietri, Matt Cook, and the great Leonard Cohen who we happened to meet a few years back in NYC on our Art Honor Society field trip!
